Ok so long story short I just had a freshwater tank dropped in my lap because the owner got "tired of messing with it"
I've never had a tank that I didn't start myself so I really don't know how to fix this tank.
I tested the ph, ammonia, and nitrates first thing. This tank had no natural light and was being lit with only the cheap led that came with the tank.
All I have done so far is set up a natural light on them.
pH - 6
Ammonia - literally off the chart high
NO2 - 2.0 PPM
NO3 - 5.0 PPM
Amazingly enough, there are 5 small fish and 2 real plants living in this 15 gallon tank.
Please help me fix this tank!!!
