High Phosphate, Nitrate & Ammonia in FOWLR

[Yxh]

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.

Add more bio filter. Use bigger skimmer. Use ATS.

Oh how long is ur tank liao? How come still got ammonia?

Added Bio-sphere and activated carton last week.

Today start running reactor with All-in-one biopellet.

No ATS, no cheato.

4 months old tank with good skimmer.

Added liao then just wait ba. Will take several weeks.

3. Ammonia - 0.5

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

Thanks bro for ur info.

A bit worry cos read from forum all trying to control phosphate and nitrate at zero.

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....

Bro do ats and no need to wc anymore.

You need to watch out for your ammonia level which could kill your fish . Try dosing some bacteria products to improve your bio filter
