I use the api master test kit as well. It seems to be accurate in everything but Ph Sent from my XT1080 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Recently bought a second tank and am planning in putting it in my guest room. It's a fairly small 13 gallon tank that I plan on turning into a simple freshwater tropical community. So my question is what would be a good 'large' fish to keep as the centerpiece in this one. I mean large relative...

Thank you. And I feel the same but thought it would be laughable to worry so much. I actually have him in a small betta tank .5 gallons with his school of glowlight tetra I filled it with water from the tank main and have been doing my best to keep it as clean as possible Started feeding him...

I have recently just set up my first tank, 13 gallons, non-planted very basic. I figured it was a good way to start the hobby. For the last week I've had a pair of male Dwarf Gouarmi living in it, they seem to be healthy and active... and thankfully aren't at each others throats. Next week...

Hey Everyone, So let me get this out of the way by saying that I am woefully new to aquarium keeping. My fiance and I decided we would like to have a small tropical fish aquarium to our home recently (read as two weeks ago) and things are starting our fairly well! That being said the internet...
