Just got back pH is at 7. I think my test strips are faulty because it didn’t read that. Said my waters great. They don’t test for chlorine at the store but he said as long as I’m using prime I should be fine. He told me to put some Fritz 7 in the tank and it should be good. He also said the...

I’m taking a bottle of water to my local fish store right now to get exact readings.

The base pH of the tap water looks to be about 6.8. On the chlorine side of things, no matter how much prime I use I can’t seem to make it go down. I used almost more than a double dose last night and this is still the chlorine level

Also, what do you guys recommend temperature for the tank? It’s only the 2 angels. I had it at 84 last week. Seemed a little high so I lowered it to 79 this week.

Nitrate, nitrite, and chlorine. They’re more white in person. I just did 70% water change a few hours ago.

How should I raise it?

Don’t have an exact number. Seems to be around 6.4

I always de chlorinate in the bucket before I put it in the tank however I don’t let it aerate, I’ll start doing that now. I recently switched to prime about a month ago. I would always just used stress coat plus. I’m wondering if my cities water (Philadelphia) just has very chlorinated water...

I’ve been doing about 50% daily and using Prime to condition the water. I’m worried it’s not de-chlorinating the water. I’ve been using the right amount but the test strip is still coming up slightly Pink indicating chlorine. Very odd.

Update on Moby(The Angelfish) his one eye seems almost completely healed but his other is little bit slower healing. He also has this odd slime off the bottom of one of his strands. Once again I’ve been doing daily water changes, no meds. Any other suggestions or just keep doing what I’m doing...

Some of the best advice I ever received! Never seen such a quick change in health from medication. Thank you again! Keep you guys posted.

This is one day difference. Looking better
