First ever water test

[Willyleigh]

I had my water tested by one of neighbours for the first time since I got my tank (christmas.) I was delighted when the results came out as:

Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate <5
pH: 7.5

Those are good results. What is your water change schedule and is your tank planted?

[Incredulous_Ed]

Cool. That's good readings.

[Willyleigh]

Yes my tank is planted, and I change 20% of the water twice a week on average.

[sergo]

how big is your tank? i can't get any nitrate readings in my 55 gal, but i'm not complaining though.

[Willyleigh]

My tank is 13 gallons

Wondering why you can't just go buy a all in one master kit or even a individual types of kits? Just a question.

[Severus]

Very good readings. Hopefully they remain there

[cocoa_pleco]

I could buy one but I havn't been able to afford one yet, but as its my birthday today!:hmm3grin2orange: Hopefully I will get enough money to get one now.

Yeah, master test kits, or even individual test kits are expensive, like 10-30 bucks. If I could, I would much rather just mooch tests off my LFS and use the 30 bucks to get a better filter or something, lol.

[Severus]

Around me they are only $16. Pretty affordable. That way you also always have the ability to test your water at any given moment

Nice, and happy birthday :) lol.

[Severus]

yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
