Hi all,
I've had my 200 L tank that well planted with low fish stock (2 acaras, about 10 rummy nosed tetras and 2-3 black neons) for about 2 years now. I've got a 1400 L/hr all pond solutions external filter and a single T5 bulb running about 6-7 hours a day as the tank gets some direct sunlight.
I checked my water the yesterday after 2 tetras died suddenly and had about 0.5 - 1.0 ppm ammonia (!!!). I wasn't able to do anything about it last night but have just done a 50% water change that's brought it down to 0.2 ppm. What's my best plan of attack for brining it down? Any suggestions as to the cause?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Sara
