Hello all, we have a 20gal tank with 10lbs of LR and 10lbs of LS. The tank was started on 9/30/05 and all this week readings were: High range 8.2;
Ammonia .25; nitrite 0; nitrate 80 but todays readings of nitrate was 90!
We have two Damsels, one choc chip starfish, one pink tip anemone, one "blue sponge" two hairy leg crabs, one peppermint shrimp and 4 turbo snails and one out of two Cardinal fish. I'm runing a Penuin 125 Biowheel with a powerhead with a single 50/50 bulb. Weekly water changes of around 10-12 gallons every week and the tank looks great. Today we lost a Cardinal Fish but are seeing a "slim/fungus" on the bottom of the tank. What is it and i think i need to purchase a Skimmer. What do you experts think we should do? Any suggestions will greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Newbys - RTDT
