Aquarium Update

October 15— Update me on your bottle/aquarium.  Refer to your observations and BE SPECIFIC.  What were your water quality test results?  What do these results mean?  What changes have you made to your aquarium as a result? 

 

The only thing new with the aquarium is that the nitrate has raised significantly, ammonia still proceeds to be pretty fine. Just adding in a bacterial supplement every other week, or as needed seems to control the nitrate from rising too high. No other changes have been made, no water changes at all, just refills when necessary. This is the last update of my aquarium, it will be taken down as of 10/21/13 and taking all of my fish and frogs home, plants as well. I contribute the nitrate levels to the plants needed to have the dead ends pruned, and possibly the frogs if I do more research into it. I also believe the frogs make the ammonia waver back and forth. Everything else is well. No guppy babies yet, frogs are very full, fat and happy, very active. Fish are still eating very well. Hopefully they will be okay with moving to a new habitat.

Nitrate was at a 40~

Ammonia was at a 0~

Temperature was at a 76 degrees Fahrenheit
