Regular Member Cdionne77 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2014 Ok Lisa I will be doing a 100% WC today... Results are ammonia 0 ( I skipped dose yesterday) nitrites are still going to 2-5 ppm nitrates are 40.. Yesterday I tested my KH because I wanted a good handle of it so I followed the chart that Alex gave for BS I added 21 grams of BS because my KH was 2 drops (35.8dkh) PH 7.4.. I checked today PH 8.0 KH 7 drops (125.3 dkh) so it's in a good range for GF but I guess higher would be better but for now at least I know how to handle it..... I was using the buff it up from GF connection which is supposed to raise KH and it did nothing. I followed the directions using 1/4 tsp per 20 gal. Checking it after an hour nothing directions said to added the amount again checking it after an hour and nothing.... So BS is they I will be going 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Cdionne77 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2014 Tap PH is 7.4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Cdionne77 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I did a 100% WC nitrite still high at 2-5 ppm everything else is the same before WC ammonia 0 so I added 1ppm back in nitrates at 40ppm PH 8.0...Aubrey sent some of her BB's should be here tomorrow. Skipper 5he chu and nameless the Oranda lol won't be here until Friday anyway and they are being QT for a few weeks so hopefully Aubrey's BB's will straighten this out Edited October 20, 2014 by Cdionne77 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted October 20, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted October 20, 2014 Oh, I've heard all about Aubrey's BBs. OK, well let's just keep doing what we're doing. Hopefully those BBs will get you straightened out. It usually takes several days for them to kick in but I'm sure it will help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Cdionne77 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 20, 2014 I will keep doing what we have planned because it seems to be working. When I test nitrite it does take a while for the water to turn dark purple so that is a good sign, it's just stubborn and wants to drive me mad Oh no I got some of Aubrey's BB's that has a reputation good they can flirt with mine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted October 20, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hopefully, they will be fruitful and multiply together. I still think you're gonna the first time they are barely purple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Cdionne77 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2014 Ok Lisa here are my stats today. I did a 100% WC yesterday and added 1ppm of ammonia because it was at 0. Today nirites are still 2-5ppm ammonia 0 nitrates are now 40-80ppm. The test color is not quite red but a very dark orange. Thats the only change. Com'on BB's work your magic already :/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Cdionne77 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2014 And this might be a dumb question . My tap KH is bad so I have to add 21g of BS to get the KH to 6 which is 107 dkh and PH 8.0..... Now I have been doing 100% WC on my 40 and then adding the BS back in, so what do I do when I change out lets say 50 or 80% of the water when I actually have fish in there. Do I just add back in the 21g during the wc or try and calculate of what I took out . I figured I could wait and test to see where the KH is like an hour after but I don't want to shock the fish with drastic changes in KH and PH....My tap PH is 7.4 and Tap KH is 2 which is like 53 dkh..... My brain is fried and im so confused 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted October 24, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted October 24, 2014 When did you add the BBs from Aubrey? Am I the only one who finds it odd that you add 21 g of BS to your tank? Ok, seriously now. You will add back baking soda for the amount of water you changed. So if you're doing a 50% WC, add in 10.5 g of BS. How are you doing your WCs? Python? Buckets? With that big of difference in tap and tank, you won't want to change much more than 50% at a time. I don't think the pH changes instantly when you add the BS, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Cdionne77 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 24, 2014 yes sometimes I really feel like it's BS I added the BB's on Tuesday. I figured I should only add what I take out but I wanted to make sure I was thinking correctly while my brain is mush QT tank is set up for my fin babies as they arrive tomorrow. I ended up matching the KH and PH to what they will be in the main tank so they can have a better adjustment. AQ 70 running with air stone and temp heater at 72. They will be in there for a few weeks.. Nervous and excited 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
