Has any one ever gotten fish from Drs Foster & Smith online aquarium ? I have a few friends that have had said good revues about there fish

Yes the Seachem test sounds a lot more accurate so will have to purchase that . I am not adding ammonia every day as well. I added ammonia to bring the level up to 4ppm ,they say to add more when it drops down to 1 ppm ,but no one says how often to do this ,how many times would you have to bump...
