is it red in the tank?

do u syphon the water out or take it out in jugs n such?

its probably just the concentrated waste making the water uve taken out a diff colour...

my water i change out looks like watery..umm...poo..

it's not red from the front but is from the side of the tank

i use a gravel vac to take out the water

it's not blood red but a kind of pinky red

 

[archamfr]

have u used any treatments recently?
u may want to take sum water reading to be safe

 

[DiscusAngel]

have u got anythin red in your tank ie. red gravel?

Driftwood or bogwood will tint the water, sometimes giving it a reddish appearance.
