  1. How long do you think that would take?
  2. Ok. What about in smaller tanks with shrimp?
  3. What are some ways you all kill staghorn algae?
  4. @Cory do you think it's a problem with just this specific kit or is something in the water just not compatible with the strips? I'll happily reorder if it's just this specific kit that is the problem.
  5. @CT_Should I trust the ammonia, Nitrate and nitrite reading? I don't have api test kits for those anymore.
  6. I am feeding krill flakes so maybe that.
  7. I have had a school of 9 Pygmy corys and added three more recently, I noticed that the new ones are a more gray color compared to the old ones that are a more yellow color. Could it be the food that I’ve been feeding them that caused the color difference? Idk how to fix the upside down issue
  8. I'm excited. I say it's going to be his dream fly river turtle, just my guess.
  9. Around 161 according to api test kit. And I have been setting a timer and watching it the whole time keep an eye on the color changes.
  10. Interesting. So does this mean just the ph is inaccurate? Can I trust the other parameters?
  11. Here is a picture of a test I took April. The ph is still wrong but the chlorine showed up but the test I just took shows that I don’t have any chlorine. Maybe they have lowered how much chlorine they are putting in since then and it is low enough to where it doesn’t register. I don’t know, weird
  12. I am on city water but all three of the tests were done on water from my fish tank. I do have crushed coral in the tank, could that be the issue?
  13. I just got back from the pet store, they tested the water for me and they say my water is around 7.8. So 2 against aquarium co-op test kit. This is pretty disappointing, I really wanted the test kit to work but it looks like it doesn't. Could there be an another reason to this @Cory?
  14. I don'r have much experience with heaters but I think I'll need one for my future multi's tank. What size heater would I need to heat a tank to 77ish degrees?
  15. Yeah I took the picture right at the 1 minute mark
  16. Yeah both the api and these strips give me these readings so one of them is consistently wrong. I don’t know which. Maybe I’ll take some of my water to an lfs and which ever they test closer to is the one that is trustworthy
  17. I was comparing my api test kit to my aquarium coop test kit and they show opposite ph. My api one shows that I have a ph around the higher end and my coop one shows it’s around the acidic end. Which is more accurate?
  18. I just moved from Indiana. I know that around the Indianapolis area there are a few fish stores
  19. What do these numbers mean?
  20. I am in Kentucky I know of a couple fish stores and a few mom and pop pet stores.
  21. I know there are lots of factors like temperature, food, etc. But generally how fast does it take them to become adults?
