Hello (Im back from the braskish section, theres not much life down there)
OK Im on day 4, PH is 8, temp 29, ammonia is remaining at 4 as dosed.
Im not expecting too much to be happening just yet.
Would like to ask though, how anal are other people re. fish tank water and testing chemicals. My tank did have crabs living and pooing in there and still has some leftover food in it. It is on my work top and this is where I do my testing. Im a bit paranoid about the water from the tank dirtying my sink/worktop etc. Obviously its good practice to be careful, wash hands, wipe up after etc but Id like to worry less. I shouldnt be thoroughly disinfecting the whole area or anything should I? Any comments.
I dont wear gloves when testing and can smell the chemicals. It all gets launched down the sink and my hands washed after. Is it OK to wipe up with my regular kitchen cloth.
