Okay I have two- 2 1/2 gallon betta tanks set up the same. Spectra stone natural gravel, a cave, a dwarf lily and a glass rock. I have had them for a year or so. I clean them the same way, dump everything, wash it off a little and put it back in. I add water, water conditioner and the fish...

I have a 26 gallon that I have planted. I tested my iron and the chart doesn't even turn colors (purple like it says) it stays white so I bought Flourish iron and potassium. I have flourish as well but should I be using Flourish or Flourish excel? I was getting plants that turn yellow at the...

I use the test kit from Aquarium Pharm. with the drops but everytime I test my ph it is different. I can use the same water from the same cup in two tubes, clean the tubes with the fish water and test and one will be yellow 6.0 and the other green 6.6? Sometimes I even get a blue 7.6 reading...
