My buddy from the LFS came over last night to see what was going on with my system and to give me a hand.
We did a 50% (58G) water change and he also gave my skimmer pump and good cleaning... In his opinion he says that one of the sources of my problems was that my skimmer was working inefficiently. he also said that another source of my problems was the sandbed in my DT, so he cleaned some small areas of my sandbed with an undergravel syphone. Another source in his opinion was that I did not have enough flow in my tank. I will be putting the 2xkorallia 1 that I got to mix the salt in M\my DT.
we tested the water (nitrate, calcium, KH, no3, ammonia, pH)after the water change and my nitrates dropped to between 25-50.
no3 (salifert) 25-50 {closer to the 25 mark)
KH (AP) 10 drops
calcium (AP) 420
ammonia (AP) 0.25
pH (AP) 7.9
I will be addind some seachen this morning... and I have to go out and get a nitrite test kit.... I completly forgot to get one yesterday when I was there.
lets hope my tank does not cycle again..
