well..the tank has been up for a week and the 2 fishies look just great...swimming around and eating well....testing the water every other day and readings have been always the same...ph=7.6, ammonia=0.25ppm, and nitrites&nitrates=0ppm....so...its gonna be a week tomorrow...do i change 10% of the water or no???
the other thing is i was using big al's water conditioner before, and after i treated the water it was still showing some ammonia...so i went to the lfs and they sold me seachem prime to treat it (of course they sold me something! thats what they are there for no?) but its still the same...but the problem i have is that i would be changing about 2 L every week (its a 5 gal(40L) tank) and i would have to add an extremely small amount of prime that i cant measure...the rate is 1mL every 40L of water to be treated so if you do the numbers for 2 L youll understand...can i use the big al's again? its easier to measure and it claims to neutralize chloramine as well...
one last thing...THANK GOD FOR ALL OF YOU GUYS!!!
