is my tap water good it has 6 6.5 ph 0 nitrite 0-20 nitrate
Rosenweiss said:Totally depends on what type of fish you're going for. For most fish, 6-6.5 pH is going to be pretty low... Also, for that high of nitrates, you're going to have to do PWC's a lot once your tank is cycled...
Edit: Hold it, did you say 0-20 nitrate? Can you get any more specific?
fort384 said:Sounds fine to me. You will need to get an ammonia test when you start cycling the tank.
Rosenweiss said:Ahhh, well as I'm sure many people will tell you, test strips are "notoriously incorrect." Haha. =D So you may want to invest in an API liquid freshwater test kit!
Edit: Or saltwater. Sorry!
