    ammonia and no2??

    IMO, washing of bio balls will wash away

    the good bacteria causing ammonia

    and no2 to go up. i think your fish

    dia because of this..

    wash bio balls after 6 - 8 mth to

    prevent clog...only light wash as not

    to wash away all the good bacteria.

    50% of water change will make your fish

    stress. try change 10% weekly and monitor

    ammonia, no2, no3 before water change

    ( for a month)

    ..once water is mature can do 20% mthly

    (depend on tank size and filteration system)

    don't add in new fish...wait until water is stable

    Get a good skimmer....

    Most important thing....Patience ;)

    I don't add skimmer because I think in the wild there is no skimming proccess.

    who says in natural enviroment there is no skimming

    process...........If you were to walk along thre beach

    you will notice foam along the beach, foam will form

    when sea water hit the sandy beach............now that

    that is natural skimming process..........................

    And scientist make a study of the foam................

    That is how scientist and manufacture comes to the idea

    of protein skimmer.... :idea:

    Dun knoe whether its true or not....... :o

    Maybe can have discussion on this.. ;)
