Does anybody know about/experienced keeping goldies in a terracota pot. I hav one wit one ranchu in it...it was running smooth until like 21days....my ph was always around 8, ammonia 0ppm, nitrite 0ppm but strangly i dont register nitrAte on my test kit yet ...not sure why? Anyways lately my ph level goes high up 8.8, yesterday i had a total water change (noticed alot of alge, turned the water green) with ph back to 7.8 but this morning 1st i checked the ph and its back to 8.8 dont know why i dont have anything in my tank except gravel. Now im forced to put my kider in a bucket of water until i get a fix to this problem or wait for my second tank to get cycled at moment it been running for 16days n has nitrite lvl of 4 ppm.
In all this ph level drama my fish kiders tail (small part on RH side) had split n curled, wat should do in this case....? |

These are the telltale signs of green water parameters.It is perfectly normal for green water to register pH of 8 to 9 during the day. Readings are OK and probably has nothing to do with terracotta pots. p/s Will the mod of this sub-forum move this topic to "green water,filtration and tank setup". |
