Have set up my tank recently, and have just tested the water. Unfortunately I haven't got an ammonia test kit but it showed a trace of nitrites and a small amount of nitrates. Probably a fair bit of ammonia but I'm not sure at the moment!
The problem is the water in the tank is off the chart hard, I don't know the measurements but my tank is 5 gallons and the test strip showed approx 250 for dH. It had two different strips for hardness, they were both high.
Would doing a big water change with filtered water help?
Thanks in anticipation![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
PS - there aren't any fish in there!
