Amm,NO2,NO3,pH,KH,temp,tanksize,flowrate,clarity,mediatypes,etc.? (sorry, haven't looked up your other threads yet, know there are some..)

Please post test result: Ammonia Nitrite Nitrate Temperature Filter type + media type Any chemicals you add (such as dechlorinator, medications etc) Fish types you have tried. In fact anything you can think of ! lol
