    Upgrading to a bigger tank may have triggered the nitrogen cycle to start over. With your bio load the filtration may have not had a chance to handle it all. If you are having nitrates it could be your source water and everytime you do a water change your just adding more nitrates. One of the fish tank gods once said dilution is the solution to pollution and I think it might fit in your case. When you get your RO unit you will be stoked.

    10-4 Ok, I'm a dumb ass. I'll try to bump the temp up slowly. Kenya looks great. Think the new tang will be ok if I do a big water change in the morning?
