Kits's First Tank :d

Agree, pH of 8.0 to 8.4 is perfect for growing the beneficial bacteria we want.

did a test on saturday the ammonia dropped to .25 so i added more ammonia in, i forgot to check the next day so yea but today im gonna check after school to check for ammonia nitrites and nitrates

Most fish medifications contain a pipette / dropper. Its worth having a couple in case of emergencies and that way you won't be adding ammonia with a bloody great spoon, which is not exactly the most accurate instrument



ps please read "how to take great photos of your fish" article in my sig. Useful stuff about resizing photos in there.

sounds like you're off to an ok start

 

[Kits]

well this is odd my ammonias the same as is nitrite and i even tried nitrate nothings different. have i dont something wrong?

Nope, you're only 5 days in and we wouldn't expect anything to change. The A-Bacs are microscopic. They are eating the ammonia and multiplying but its all still to small to detect.

 

[Kits]

alright well pretty much nothing has changed im just curious as to why the ammonia dropped on like the third day

remember, its biology, not chemistry, and its not linear
