^^^
I agree, I'm all over the place. But I'm sure you can understand. I'm new to the hobby and am probably trying to learn too much too fast.

I bought a water testing kit (Quick Dip Strips). The results of my tap water are as follows.

Nitrate = 20
Nitrite = 0
Hardness = 0
Chlorine = 0
Alkalinity = 0
pH = 8.4

I tested my tap water becuase it's what I have to work with. My tank only has gold fish for now, so I'm sure that water needs improvement. Over the next few weeks, I will be giving away the gold fish and I will start to buy my fish and plants.
