Keeping fish as pets can be a rewarding hobby.
Designing and maintaining your aquariums is a wonderful creative outlet.
Watching your fish swim around is both relaxing and fun.

hmm.. i also not sure.. I'm using the API 5 in 1 measuring kit. From the reading my gf read 0.5. Is the kit alright? or should I add in something to lower the nitrite?
1 more thing is my GH = 30 means 3.0 or should i add mineral plus to make it to 3?

In my opinion you can put in some low grade crs to test out already... i'm using the API 5 in 1 as well.... it can be hard to differentiate between readings sometimes...the kit should be fine....

noted... no hurry still can wait for 2 more weeks. Cause I'm going to go for my reservist the week after next.
