All the fish are fine now except the angel, which out of my 4, is the last remaining, and some of the cories. I've only lost 2 cory cats in the process.
I called the lfs I got the cories from, and they said that they do nightly waterchanges to keep the phosphates and nitrates down. My testkit doesn't have a phosphate or nitrate test in it, so I"ll test it when I go to work later. I think that this could be the reason why my cories are doing poorly. I know that I do have reletivily high phosphates in my water, as I've had them tested before, but in my waterchanges, I use a 2:1 ratio of RO/DI water to tap water to help get my Ph down, which is also reletivily high. (8.0 out of the tap)
I still have an air tube in the tank to get rid of any Cop2 that might be hiding out, but my Co2 isn't on either atm.
On another forum, they said that I used too much yeast in my mixture. I was getting prolly anywheres from 5-7 bubbles per second. WAY to much. Naturally, I turned it off this morning when I put the air tube in, but I'll have to re-mix it or just run one bottle for the time being.
