Should I be concerned?

Did the regular pH drops, and it appears to be 7.6. What's the verdict now?

Since I have a goldfish tank, it said to use the high range. I haven't tried the regular though. I did add a 7.0pH fizz tab to it yesterday, so it may be on the low end.

I know it's supposed to be 0ppm. What should I do to lower it? I've done 25% water changes the past 2 days, trying to help my new tank syndrome. I figured that would work in lowering it??

I'm not the best at reading the water results, and differentiating in between the ranges. Everything looks good to me, except the ammonia. Now it is a goldfish tank that is probably a little fuller than it needs to be.. By like maybe a goldfish. But are the results okay?? pH 7.4 (maybe a...

Everyone always says to not clean or change the filter unless its falling apart.

So I should get a new bag once a month?

Okay, so is this normal? I feel like I just changed my cartridge 2 months or less ago. The sponge is just SOOO dirty.

Yes, I understand they're delicate and need a different tank!! We're y'all saying to rehome my pleco if I got a fragile goldfish, or are you saying I should do that now? Because if so, he's perfectly fine now. I have an ornament that is tall that he is always in! No way I'm rehoming him...

Where did you get that gumball tank? It's perfect!

Hello, I'm very interested in breeding betas. I purchased a fairly young crown tail male and female beta to do so. I also bought a big clear bowl, and a clear vase to put inside. I'm unfamiliar with the process. Where should I go from here? I need steps!

I've only used the ammo chips twice, so hopefully I haven't done much damage. Good to know I should just wait... Should I change filters, or no?

Can you remove the fish, and put them into a hospital tank?? There I'd raise the temp, add a teaspoon of aquarium salt, and use an ich guard tablet. It's 1tab/1gallon, so make sure you dose it right.
