i have had a few fish die on me so i went and picked up the nutrifin min master test kit and tested my tank water and here are the results
nitrite= 0
nitrate=0
ammonia=0.6
ph= red off the scale (acid)
temprature= 29oc
any input please ?

It is a un cycled tank or it is poorly stocked btw I would buy the API master test kit

 

[aquandrew]

how long has the tank been set up?

 

[matthew_raw]

it must be uncycled now but up unitl yesterday when the temp raised form 36 to 30 everything seemed to go wrong now im getting high ammonia readings no nitrates and no nitrites and a ph off the scale in acidity

 

[aquandrew]

it must have fried the BB your going to want to do at least a 60% water change to bring the ammonia below .25 ppm and treat it as a fish in cycle

 

[matthew_raw]

I checked the paprameters today and ammonia read 0 but nitrites and nitrates were at around 15 ppm

Buy an API master kit... I can tel u are using strips

 

[matthew_raw]

Not using strips,im using the nutrafin mini master test kit, its drops

 

[Fishdude3233]

Oh ok the strips measure that high but the API master Dosent... My mistake
