well not sure what is going on. i've checked nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, ph, and phosphate. everything is ok except the nitrates are really high. no algae growing in there at least. but for some reason fish keep dying in there. i've tossed in a guppy here and there as test subjects. they seem to live for about a week but then die. i'm starting to wonder if maybe the disolved oxygen is to low and the fish are slowly suffocating. i'm going to pick up a test kit tomorrow before work to check it once i get home.
also the mold is still growing but seems to be slowing down. I've concentrated hydrogen peroxide down to about a 30-40% concentration and been treating with that. i also rigged up 2 cpu fans for air circulation. also i've been making sure none of the hydrogen peroxide makes it into the water. i'm unsure as to what that could do to fish in that small of amount of water. i do use the concentrate on black beard algea in my 55 though as it's a much larger amount of water. I use one of my moms old insulin needles worth once every couple days so it's not much for 55 gallons of water.
