I have a 1.5g freshwater tank with a beta and snail in it.
It's been cycling for almost 3wks now.
The ammonia level are high,
so I'm doing daily water changes (very small/aprrox. 15%)
The temp. is aprrox. 78'-80'.
The nitrites are just starting to come into the picture, but
the ph and hardness levels are very low(ph/6.0 and hardness/below 25).
I've been trying to stay away from meds. for the fish(don't want to mess w/cycle).
Is there a natural way(tips) to raising the ph/hardness levels, rather than supplements?
And or should I just let the tank cycling without adding things to it?
And, do to the high ammonia level, is there something I can do to help my beta(gills, etc.).
If someone can help... It would be greatly appreciated!
