Many good advises. Thank you all.

Thank you all for reply and answers. As a beginner I'm trying to start with neon tetras and corydora. And maybe betta. They will not die in hard water right? I used water conditioner from Petco. Used as directed. Coop said there is a leaf that softens water and darkens. I'm considering to use it if safer for fish.

I took one more test. At 20 seconds And at 1 minutes (2nd pic) Instructions on the back said check at 1 minute.

I think it was well over 1 minute. I'll try one more time with good timing and flat area.

Hello. Beginner here with my 1st tank. I checked my water with test strip. I think my buffer and pH of off the chart bad. Could someone help me understand this better please. Maybe recommend way to correct? Thank you.
