Water Chemistry Gone Badly Wrong

like cazzie said, if its not zero or very very close to it, it will still cause damage, make sure you do it later.
 
Now would be better, but if it has to be later then fair enough - just make sure it is later, and not tomorrow!

a will try and get my grandad to hold off but it will only be a hour max if it has to wait
 
2nd water change 80-90% of the water heres the results
not sure about which one the pH and the Nitrate is but there you go

Hopefully the levels will be stable soon! :D
 
Hopefully the levels will be stable soon! :D

looks good better than mine atm :p

yeah hopefully they will be stable soon and i will have some happy little fish :D just hope these ones dont go befor its right :(

and cheers matty :) gotta really know what to do like badly screwed this one up :( but happy its gonna be sorted shortly..... hopefully
 
i have a unopened bottle spare as the pet store was selling them buy one get one free so thought a would stock up :p

ano its early to be asking this but how many fish do you think i could happily keep in my 23L tank? something about the size of my sunset platies? Neon Tetra's that kind of size fish?
 
Looking better :good: Next time you test them, put the bottles onto the card as you do them, that way you won't get them mixed up!

And you need to test EVERY DAY and change the water EVERY DAY until you no longer are getting Ammonia or Nitrite readings above 0.

yeh i stick them above or on the card to which one it is :)

just so i know what should my pH and Nitrate levels be?
 
Your pH should stay the same. If you see it dropping do a water change. Your Nitrates might go off the chart. You don't want that to happen so if you see it exceeding 40ppm do a water change. ;)
