So because of major exams etc, I had been pretty slack over cleaning my oscar tank, finally had time to do it today. I tested the water, just to check how bad it had got, and got the oddest test results. This tank is definitely cycled, it's had the oscar in it 4 months in which time the oscars grown 4 inches. It also houses a blue acara and a psycho baby clown loach who's been put in there since he insists on killing his tankmates.
Anyway the test results are
Ammonia- 0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-0
Ph-7
These are test kits that are well within their use by date, and I only bought them 2 weeks ago, and they have registered ammonia, nitrite and nitrate in other tanks, so why would they be reading nul values for a tank with a big messy baby oscar who can eat his way through a bag of pellets in less then a month? Actually come to think of it the tank itself is filled with junk, and plenty of poo on the bottom....
The tank has no plants bar a few strands on wayward java moss, Though there is quite a bit of algae... is that whats giving the nul values? tis very odd LOL.

Try again, I guess.
