I have a quick question!
nitrates, checked my water 3 weeks ago nitrates were at 50 so I did a 50 gal. change.checked it agian tonight and now they it is at 100. I couldn't believe it so I did another test."the same"?????What could be causing this?I know for a fact I'm not over feeding.Everything else test fine.

If your tank has been set up for only a few weeks, it probably means it's still cycling. If it has been set up for at least a few months, then it probably means something has died or is dying.
