Aquarium Advice Activist
Hi,
I recieved a whole bunch of chemicals for an aquarium with the other equipment I got. Maybe you guys could tell me what they are used for.
Bromothymol Blue: I know this is used for testing PH and that I should add a couple of drops to a vile of water, but I didnt recieve a PH chart with the chemical. Is there a good online chart that someone could direct me to?
Sodium Biphosphate: This reduces alkalinity, right? How off should I let the Ph of my water get before I start adding this stuff?
Aqua Brite, Freshwater and Marine Oxidizing Water Clarifier: It says it prevents cloudyness and haze. Do I only use this if my water looks cloudy?
Soft N Clear, Freshwater softening and clarifying specific: What do I use this for, and when?
Also, (this is going to soud so stupid, but hey I have to learn somewhere) How do I check my water for its cycle and what chemicals are used to do this?
Thanks a bunch.
