Hello,
I just bought some test strips that my pet store had in stock. And I just tested my water.
Ammonia - 0
Water Hardness - very hard
pH - 6.5
Nitrite - 20
Nitrate - 0
Alkalinity - 80
So it seems like my pH is acidic since my chart says that 6.8 - 7.2 is neutral. So I guess my fishes are still alive, and they aren't showing any signs of problems. All my tanks have no nitrate, or ammonia. And my largest tank has an alkalinity of 0, and a pH of 7.4.
Is there anything besides water changes that I should do for my tanks? I hear that some fishes like acidic water. I know that Angels probably wont, but my angels are still alive in all of my tanks (3 died in my ten gallon) so there is one left.
So if anyone can help me with further more advice, that would be great
Thank you.
