Sorry my 2 year old is not well so couldn't post recently, my kit is a liquid based one by API but the levels seem to be changing constantly, I have just tested and it's GH 90 ish best match, KH still 120, PH now risen to 7, No2 risen to 0.5 and No3 risen to 20 ish best match. The fish are...

Morning all, well the kit has arrived and I have been doing the 10% water change daily as instructed. Well my tap water is GH60, KH40, PH6.5, NO2 0, NO3 0. My tank is GH120, KH120, PH6.5, NO2 0, NO3 0 Now that I have been reading, reading, reading... I think part of the problem also is that...
