pH 8.4
Nitrate 5
Ammonia <0.25
Nitrite 0

Another week another set of results, but these ones are slightly more interesting because at the moment we’re getting algae blooms on the side of the tank, we’ve a couple of really diddy snails and they seem to be enjoying it. (But not enough to stop it being a problem) We don’t like it tho, it makes everywhere look messy and watching the fish is less fun and harder
Did the first water change today in an effort to help clear it up. About 20l was changed, and of course we added the dechlorinator stuff as well. I persuaded Rach that the water shouldn’t be changed to start with but i’m a bit worried now that we waited too long and that the quality is suffering. It was interesting to see that the nitrate/nitrite levels aren’t that high tho, so good news there i suppose.
Everybody seemed to cope well with a weekend alone and are in good health, to my untrained eye at least.
