Hi All - I have a pair of clownfish in a 105l tank. The parameters are as follows.
Salinity - 1.025
pH - 8
Ammonia - 0ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
Nitrate - 50ppm
When I measured nitrate 4 days ago it was about 40ppm. Then I did a 10% water. I wanted to reduce nitrates further, and I did a 15% water change yesterday. Vacuumed sand on both days. But after the water change it read as 50ppm!! I am using Salifert test kit.
I am feeding pellets two twice a day. I stop feeding them as soon as they stop eating. A few pellets drop to the bottom. What am I doing wrong? Or what can I do better? Any advice would be much appreciated.
