[troylong45]

I have 4 48 in t5 ati bulbs on a 75 and levels
Temp 79
sg 1.025
Nitrite 0
ammonia 0
Nitrate 5
pH 8-8.2
calcium 400-500 can't remember.
Dkh 8
phosphate .5
Is this ok? Will it die? My phosphates was 1ppm nitrates 20ppm. after adding new rock and Before 20% water change

One thing someone is bound to ask (which you left out) is how long has the tank been established?

 

[troylong45]

My bad I forgot that . 20 months (little over 1.5 yrs)

I had one for a few months 7 months ago but it split and bleached out it never came out. but nitrates where super high 80ppm. Due to have no income no salt no water =no water changes.

I had a small bta that split on me once an I found one piece that turned to mush and died on me. So fast forward 2 months I figured I move this one rock in my tank and I turned it over and long behold, I found the little bugger under the rock. Two months in the dark and it lived.

I'm sure my levels back then did it in the most then when it was close to dying I asked lfs to watch it hoping it would recover. It didn't

Moving it to the lfs probably just added to its stress, sorry for the loss.

Yea I was upset but was better in there 10000 gallon system then my 100 gallon system and for it to die it don't nuke my tank like a pink tip condi did when I first got in to the hobby which I had didn't know any better.
