After reading these Q & A's I went and got some test strips for my tank. Now, I know some of you don't like the strips but that's all wal mart had and I'm sick so I don't feel like going anywhere else. It's close to home. Here's the results... Ammonia 3.0, nitrate 20, nitrite .5, hardness 300 (very hard), alkalinity between 120-180, and pH is about 7.8. What does all this mean? i know I sound stupid but I tested the water and don't know what the results mean. I bought some Bio-spira today and added it to the tank cause the water is really cloudy and fish don't look so good. I also bought some Easy Balance made by tetra but haven't added it. Don't know if I can w/ the bio-spira. Do I need to add it? Also, one last question. What is the difference btween aquarium salt and table salt?
Freshwater tank - 5 guppies, 2 neons, 3 rummy nose, 3 platys, 1 pictus 30 gal
Please don't come down on me, educate me. I'm willing to learn. Thanks in advance.
