I get my water from my own rainwater source in the forest so I don’t think there is anybody I can contact - it is a private water source Also I use Flourite Dark as substrate and only have a few plants + driftwood. Could the recent algae bloom be related to this? Thanks!

Ok so I’ve left the water for more than 24 hours, now the pH reads like a 7.0 While my tank water is reading 7.8 for some reason.

Ok thanks, I will try it and see what happens.

Hi, so just a question - should I be doing said water changes during a silent cycle? Thanks!!

Ok so my pH took a large swing again, yesterday when I tested it was 6.6 right, but today it became 7.6 - I did not do anything, so why did this happen? My tap water has a pH of 6.0

Thanks! So I shouldn't worry about my parameters in any way? What if I wanted snails as well, should I just raise the pH?

Both are around 17.9 ppm

Yesterday I tested my pH and it was around the 7.4-7.6 mark, and today when I tested it after a water change it became 6.4-6.6. Would this issue be mainly due to low gH/kH? My tap water naturally has a pH of 6.0, so I have no idea how the pH was so high.

Alright, thanks!

I had never thought about this before, but today my power went out for 2 hours because of construction. I don't have any inhabitants in my tank yet which is a relief, but in the future what should I do?

So my current gH/kH levels are good for the bristlenose's needs? Most websites I read online about bristlenose parameters say gH/kH should be above 89 ppm Ok, what about the snails? Or should they just not go together? Thank you!

I'm planning on keeping a few snails and a golden bristlenose.

Most people recommend you keep them in groups of six or more to avoid stress (as with most schooling fish), and the more the better.

My kH/gH are both below 17.9 ppm, so I am looking to increase it. Is the crushed coral in filter way effective? I am also looking any other ways, if there are any. Thanks!

Oh ok thanks

Ok, I might try the website if I want any plants. Also I was a bit suspicious because the email was weird. See below. It says via ksd2.klaviyomail.com

I have no idea, but thanks! I have only used Flourish Comprehensive Supplement, Flourish Excel (stopped now), prime during water changes, API Quick Start, and api ph up.

Has anybody used the website "https://thefishroom.co.nz/" and is it legit? Thanks

I've been using this for my plants and it says it has got 0.0001% copper sulfate per 1g. Could it be the cause of death for my mystery snails? I had put them in the tank for 2 days and then they died.

Ovation

Thanks for the advice on water changes!

Pushup

Now I do 50% water changes once a week on my 13 gallon tank which as of right now has no inhabitants (I'm silent cycling). I've noticed that during these water changes, the overall water temperature can drop to 10 degrees celcius. This is not a problem now, but what should I do in the future...

Contraception

Ok thanks!

Hi, pictures below. Thanks:)

Ok, thank you!

Well the other one died today too, should I tell the fish store or something?

The one that died I got 2 days ago, the one that isn't dead 1 day ago. The started was set up on the 26th of July, I use Flourish Comprehensive Supplement 1ml a week (my tank is 52l), I used to use Flourish Excel, but now I don't. I've never used any medications. Is there anything that I can...
