- When violent downbound I did the following; I change the separate Some people saying it was too bounteous and causing the seek to swim harder until they died to a small digit for a 20L cell - it utilised to be for 25L. I change the gravel, got rid of the heater which seemed to have triggered the deaths. Added new water and an air viscus with stone.
- I let the water sit for a week, monitoring the chemicals in it. One abstract that struck me was that over night the PH would rise significantly from 7 viewless to 7.6 or more, this was where the kit maxed out . All other chemicals were fine. I with out the heater the liquid sits at about 23 degrees, which ostensibly is also Ideal. Also the cell was scrubbed clean of a diminutive amount of grime which was deposited on whatever parts.
- I forgot to name that I have not been able to take the fish because they hit died so suddenly. Otherwise I hit tropical flakes and bloodworms to feed them.
