it was my fault, it was a combination of a couple things. I have been having issues with my ato, its time to change out my pump. that caused my water level to drop below the sensor. the sensor thought the temp was much lower than it was so it kept heating and kicked the continuous heating alarm. that shut down my inkbird. i didnt catch that it was on pause, so it just sat there not doing anything over night. really all of it is my fault for being lazy and not replacing my tunze yet. I will have some time this afternoon to do it. its on the growing list.

Im not really worried, i keep it at 76 - 77 normally anyways. so it wasnt a drastic decrease.

Good afternoon !

I finally tested my tank after months nitrate is 28 ppm and phosphate is higher then 3

everything is doing fine but I would like the numbers lower.

I don’t wanna dose anything (ever again haha) what’s a good percentage to water change to bring it down without shocking everything

 

[fishguy242]

Phosguard, gfo careful, some kind of chemi pure that removes phos, leave the trates be,water change will drop both...
