I have for the first time got a test kit. YAY!

everone elses tap water is like.

My kit dosn't test for gh or kh but feel free to
add it if yours does.

My tap water is...

pH: 8.2
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0.1
Nitrate: 7


pH is quite high in this area, some of my fish shops have pH of 9 - 9.5 but the fish are all healthy still

My tap water readings are as follows:

Ph: 8
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10

Again my ph is high due to the area.

any of you test for chorine in the water? i konw the water in my area is really high in chlorine.

 

[zoraak]

PH: 8.0
Ammonia: .50
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0

.50 Ammonia? isn't that quite high especially with your ph which is at 8, shouldn't all the water supplies be Ammonia free? btw, which part of Canada you're located because it got me worried...

 

[Crystal]

I know, am a little worried of that as well. I am in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
i am going to eb testing my bf's water as well(he has softened water) so his might be better for the fish.

Gazoo you make it sound like 7.6 is a bad pH? Thats a very good pH! Remember some of us have to use water with a pH of 8 and higher?!
