Thank you, Tommy Gun. :) So everything goes back to me not having the testing kits... And you can't really help me with determining the cause of the green water because I can't provide my water's characteristics, am I correct? I'll see if I can get that master testing kit soon. Also, for the...

Yeah, lol, they do. xD Good point! How often should we do PWCs? Is once a month enough? I've seen sites that say twice a week, but that kind of seems like too often... How often should the ammonia crystals be changed?

Very much. :) Thank you! The tap water has 0.0 phosphate. The flake food says "feed 2-3 times a day" and also says "phosphorous - 1%"... Is that a lot? Well, we have an aerator on the bottom of the aquarium - the bubbles obviously float up and create some turbulence on the surface. The filter...
