sunday is usually water change day in my house. i check the parameters before to see what volume i need to change.
today the results where
ph - 7.4
nh3 - 0 ppm
no2 - 0 ppm
no3 - 20 ppm
gh - 9 (161 ppm)
kh - 4 (71 ppm)
temp 89 f
the 1st four results are what they normally are, the gh/kh i've only just started testing so i don't know if they are normal results, and the temp is higher than i'd like but i can't get it any lower. i've left the lights of with detrimental effects to the plants but they aren't really my prime concern. i mainly have them in there to make the tank pretty.
i'm going to do a 30% pwc to bring the no3 down a little.
i have a 18g tank with 1x male betta, 2x male guppies, 5x white clouds and 2x borneo suckers.
apart from the temp, is there anything i should take into consideration with regards to these results?
thanks.
