QUOTE(CyberET @ Tue 06 Jul 2004 09:05 AM) just do 90% water change, and remember to add BS this time.. without sufficient buffering capacity, pH drops into the acidic range as time pass.., and the BB goes to sleep  use a test kit for kH to find out how much u need to add to reach 4dKh, and how fast it depletes as well.. right buddha?  after you've done that.. its a waiting game for your filter to mature, which can take a month.. meanwhile.. watch the ammonia and nitrite levels, and adjust your feeding/water changes accordingly.. If the intension is to get rid of green water, then a 100% water change is the way to go. Changing 90% is seeding 10%, a massive seed even for a green water setup! ... and use a more efficient bio media. I believe Japanese Mat are meant for kois with large-size wastes. Go to LFS and ask for BioHome. ... and if you have existing filter in another tank, use some of its biomedia to kick start the new ones to shorten the cycling period. |
