lol, fair enough.

I'll just add to this, that I recently changed to flourite and some of my tiny pellets I feed are growing white cotton stuff on it also. It must be the flourite causing it.

Right guys and girls, Just tested the water results as follows: Ammonia0 nitrite 1 Nitrate 40 Aquarium is medium planted, haven't done water change for 3 days. Nitrite remains at 1 and has been consistent. Any ideas how to get this down? Even when i change the water it stays relatively the...

check value is in correct direction, some pressure but not a lot. Perhaps thee is not enough pressure? I also have them 3 metres away, below the tank level, does that affect them?

Any one know what a good or average GH reading should be? Or is it likely my test is wrong? The GH tester reagent was only made last year.

Just got back from fishing! Done my tests: Ammonia 0.25 nitrite 1 Nitrate 10 PH (high) 7.4 PH 7.6 KH 6dkh 125.3 ppm GH 29 drops of solution which is 519.1ppm Is the gh way too high? Looks well out of range.

Thanks Guys, I think I have it now. I'll report back later.

I have read about this stuff and people were saying it was the same as excel and same results? Be interested to hear other peoples thoughts.

Cheers Rich, i really dont understand mate. How do i determine how many drops i add to the sample water, in the test tube? Do i: Add one drop to the water ( the water turns colour) Then keep adding one drop until it turns the next colour? Once it has turned colour, this determines the...

Any one know how to use the api gh and kh tester? Doesnt tell me how many drops to add?

Cheers Rich, i wasn't worrying, just curious really. In 8 years I've always put it in the tank without waiting. Strange how it works...

Quick question. When using a dechlorinater (e.g prime), does it removed the chlorine etc straight away or does it take time? I usually just put the stuff in the water, swish it around and then put in the tank. I'm not worried about doing that, just want to know whether it "cleans" the water...

Thanks neilanh. New test results today: Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0.25 Nitrate 40. What do you guys reckon? Another water change due to the 0.25 nitrite? Also, bought some ferts, should i add these whilst the nitrate is 40? Not sure what a normal value for this should be? I have a fair few plants.

One more question, you mention ppm. How do get that info from the test kit? Is the test kit in ppm?

Just done a test with an api test kit, and these are the readings, before a 25% water change. Ammonia 0.1ish nitrite 0.25 PH 7.6 Higher range test 7.4 Nitrate 40. Looks like i need to get the ammonia and nitrite down.
