Ok, I'm getting a little frustrated here. First, to be brutally honest, I was not doing water changes as religiously as I should have been. Shame on me!
About 10 days ago, I did a check and at that time my Ph was 6.0 (or lower), amonia 0 and nitrite 0...I do not have anything to test nitrates, but from what I hear, they were probably off the chart. I did a water change...50% give or take.
3 days later, my pH was at 6.5, amonia 0 and nitrites .5...I did another water change..about 40%.
4 days later (today), my pH is 7.6, amonia 0 and nitrites .25. Am I on the right track here. I want to add another BP and some tiger barbs and a couple clown loaches...is it safe or should I wait until the weekend and do another check...at what point is it ever safe.
Looking for advice here....HELP!!!!!
