I came in today and it looked like the filter had done a great job over the weekend of cleaning the tank. There was a little bit of debris on the tank floor, but not much, I cleaned that up and then rinsed both filters to clean them off. Everyone looks great today. I tested my nitrite levels, and it has not moved at all. This would make sense though; the tank is pretty big, and there are a lot of fish in it, it will probably take more water changes and frequent filter cleanings to get the ammonium, nitrite and pH all back to normal. The fish are also getting bigger and eating more, and in turn creating more waste which will also have a negative effect on these levels. Since it is hard to get water levels back down after they rise, it is especially important to notice things early on before they worsen, noticing poor water quality early can help a lot in correcting the problem. The final weak fish unfortunately passed away sometime over the weekend. Fish were fed once yesterday (Sunday) but they look like they lost a little bit of weight over the weekend, which is normal since they were hardly fed during the weekend. Fish were fed today at 10:00am, 3:30pm, and 5:30pm.
