Itās the main kit from Petco, that has all of the specific products within it to test. Iāve seen information on other threads to maybe not trust it? I work all day, throughout the day and unfortunately canāt get the water tested until the weekend. I will say that we continue to get those same numbers every time. So itās consistent at least! I confirmed with my husband the filter was added with all the same media and water from the previous tank, so it shouldnāt have cycled that much, if at all. I mean... the damn trumpet snails are dead and we had an infestation haha. Iām really confused.
The issue is, we still have other fish to add by the end of the month. We need this tank āhealthyā by the time we move so we can set it up at the new house. I wouldnāt even know where to begin figuring this out. It sucks. Weāve had these tanks running since this time last year, no issues what so ever!! A few losses here and there due to misc issues of illness with a fish or two, but nothing major. Now weāve lost all 5 glass cats, and all 5 long finned tetras. I have a feeling the pleco wonāt last long. The front of her fins are red. Seems bacterial or fungal to me. But it could very well just be major stress.
