SOS my ammonia and nitrite !!
 
In my 90gal freshwater with a 36gal sump. Daily changes , accu, conditioners. My levels are still high and my fish are gasping for air! Been set up over a month now.
Ghost knife, peacock bass, pleco, Oscar. All are juveniles.

I'm stumped, this is my first time running a sump.

I'd like to pay someone to come by and see what I'm doing wrong.
I've spend lots of money on my set up and nothing is working out right.
I'm almost at the point were I want to get ride of it all, and start with a larger tank and a couple canister filters. I'm into the tank and sump now close to a grand now and I'm having nothing but horrible results

I'm in the nw part of Edmonton 134 and 124

Give me with a number if ur available
Thanks Curtis

In my sump. 200gp pump, blue and white filter pads from aquarium illusions. I'm running a full box of bio from big Al's, also a large bag and carbon. I also have an in water aquaeon filter in there. And a bunch of black bio balls

What are you levels at? Tank is still quite new.

Here are some quick fix ideas
Find some Kordon Amquel Plus for ammonia/nitrates
set up another air pump for more O2 in the water

How big are your water changes?

In the morning, go buy a bottle of seachem stability, follow the directions on the bottle and you should be aok... I used to alway keep a big bottle on hand for my
FW tanks just in case, it's gold in a bottle IMHO.
