    Very High GH/Very Low KH... Confused

    The color is actually very noticable. On drop 21, the vial is a obvious and vibrant orange, on drop 22 it switches to a light, but still obvious, green.

    Shattered Heater Concerns

    Hello, I was a bone head and didn't switch my glass tank heater off during a water change. While pouring water into the tank, the heater shattered into the tank. Should I be concerned about chemicals/substances that were inside the heater poisoning the water? One of my guppies was literally...

    New Member and Guppy Concerns

    I wanted to provide a quick update on my Guppy tank. I have taken the advice of many posts on here (for which I thank you all). Since my post, I have installed a light dimmer and timer, set to be on at about 25% power for 6 hours a day. I installed a background (black) on my tank to ease...
