Thank you for responding!
I use Tetra Easy Strips, it tests for Nitrate, Nitrite, Total Hardness, total Chlorine Total Alkalinity and PH, I didn't see where it tests for Amonia. Here are the numbers:
Nitrate = 0
Nitrite = 0
Hardness = 75
Chlorine = Safe
Alkalinity = 120
Ph = 7.2
It is heated, I took the charcoal filter out and just kept the filter shell so that the Betta fix would not get filtered, I actually called API and asked them this. The temp is 75. What do you mean by cycle, I did a full change last friday and put in the aqua safe and added proper PH 7.0 and checked the water before I put the fish in it. I have been checking the water periodically all week and PH is good. Had the Betta since xmas.The water was bad last week b/c I didn't have a vacuum and I think we fed him 2x a day instead of once. Now we do once and so last week I had to do a full change but I have my vacuum now so I was planning on changing the water tonight for a 25 % change but you are saying 75% correct? The water looks great but, like you said, the betta fix is still in there. My betta is hiding inside his castel and we can't see him, I believe he is at the top of the castle where there might be a bubble of air so what you are saying makes a lot of sense. Just angry about Betta fix! So please advise if I should do the 75% water change now. Thank so much really appreciate this!
