Have you done anything to the tank recently? New fish? Plants? Chemicals?

 

[paulmorgan]

Dont have water testing kit myself so took samples to two different places and they both said its close to perfect readings, nah havent moved anything around of note

Most lfs use test strips. You really need to get a liquid test kit if you are going to be a responsible fish keeper.

place just round corner does free water tests so its all good

IME with LFS doing water testing, they generally don't do it right.. API Master test kit I'd recommend.

cool ill look into it, how much are they?

 

[Scott28]

£30 ish I think.. Really worth the money IMO, try amazon. I would never use test strips.

The usually test wrong. You need your own liquid test kit.

they use little tubes, then match the colour of water to the graph
