High Phosphate, Nitrate & Ammonia in FOWLR


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

Here's my reading in FOWLR tank:

1. Phosphate - 2.0

2. Nitrate - 20

3. Ammonia - 0.5

All fishes still doing well but green algae are start blooming now on rock.

I m changing 30% water every 3 weeks.

How to reduce this 3 besides from changing water and less feeding..?

Tnx.

Btw, for a FOWLR tank above reading acceptable?

Appreciate if someone can share your data

If within the range, I don care Liao since all the fishes are healthy.

Fish can take 20 nitrate so don't worry too much. As long all healthy and eating should not be a problem. Also aio bp need awhile to kick in so must be patience, mine took about 1month+ before seeing slight effect. Cheers

Bro do ats and no need to wc anymore.

Its very hard n almost impossible to reach zero readings if u got lots of fishes n feeding them often bro...as long as u do regular water changes n fishes are healthy, u shouldn't worry too much....

Alright bro.
