Good morning Ned,
I seem to have a recuring situation of some from of black colored alge going.

I tested my water the other day
ph 8.4
ammonia 0
nitrates o
nitrites 40 (is this too high)

I'm thinking i might be a coper or sulphate issue? I 'm asking because i have lost about 5-6 fish over the past couple of weeks i thought i had another bout of the blout, but the fish never got swollen bellies.

Any idea for a cure would be great, since i just did a 25 gallon water change i will need to wait a few days to hopefully bring a water sample down to see if yoy guys might have an answer for this black stuff in my tank.

Thanks again Ned,
Ed

I think you double posted
no big deal

anyway
bring some water to the store
your tap water in 1 bag
and
your tank water in another bag

about 8 oz of each

if you're losing fish check for the easy stuff first
low oxygen
poison
aggression
etc
