High Nitrate Level for Koi
yup, big water changes and quit feeding them low quality food and as much food.
welcome to the world of aquariums. Ingrid Andy Hill wrote: (MC) wrote: I brought my Koi indoors for the winter and am experiencing high nitrate levels although I believe I have sufficient filtration. I have read this isn't a big problem in some places, but on the test strips and elsewhere read it was unsafe. I have about 100-150PPM. Is this something to worry about? Nitrites are almost non-existent and PH is fine. Yeah, that's a problem. Start doing water changes to drive it down to something more reasonable (BTW, filtration does very little for nitrates -- they're the end product of the nitrogen cycle. You either have to have lots of green growing stuff to suck up the nitrates, or do water changes to dilute them). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List Manager: Puregold Goldfish List http://puregold.aquaria.net/ www.drsolo.com Solve the problem, dont waste energy finding who's to blame ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unfortunately, I receive no money, gifts, discounts or other compensation for all the damn work I do, nor for any of the endorsements or recommendations I make. |
