hey i had a 24g aquapod it cracked so now my only option was to move my livestock in to my 5.5g
-in the 5.5 theres a clown a big piece of LR 10 snails 1 hermit and a star polyp frag
-i just tested my params and i noticed my nitrates are high.....and i have GHA
-what should i do
-add more LR
-differnt filter media in the HOB filters??
what type of sand bed?-----ts bare bottom
how much current in the tank?----- it has 2 HOB filters i think 200-300 gph total
what kind of filter(s)-----1x penguin 170 1x whisper 10
what media is in them?----- carbon in the whisper
what fish and inverts are in the tank?----- 1 clown 10 snails 1 hermit 1 GSP frag
when you say high, what are the levels you are reading?----- 15-20
the water it from my exsisting 24g that cracked and so is the rock
i do about 1-2g w/c every other day(i try) i dont have an r/o unit
