Hey All, First timer here, just after some advice based on recent water tests please. Hopefully these photos load up in the same order I’m looking at now... Tank was set up 05/02 and live stock added 07/02 along with a bottle of Colony. First water change 15% on 13/02 (maybe too soon?). Photo 1 (darker amonia result) was taken this morning 20/02 and I have since carried out a 20% water change as it seemed concerning. Photo 2 was taken two hours after water change but still doesn’t seem great. The results of a water test I carried out on Wednesday 17/02 we’re very similar to that of photo 2 today, went to LFS on Wednesday but they said the water was fine. Can anyone give a second opinion, am I over thinking this? EDIT: Livestock 2 clowns, tank 52l Fluval Evo, feeding 1/5 of a block of food every 2 days. EDIT2: Test kit is NT Marine Labs

I dropped my food in my nano-tank a few days ago, well, my cat pushed it and the food container fell in the water. I didn't know about it, until it was too late. Usually, I measure my water quality every week, so I couldn't have noticed the chemistry got out of control in such a short time. Is there a way to automatically test your water everyday, so I could react rapidly? If there was a solution to fully automate your chemistry testing, would you use it?

Should I use Seachem Clarity to clear up my water? Particles everywhere
CinnamonTorch posted a topic in Water Chemistry
hello, my water quality is not as clear as it once was. There seems to be so many fine little particles floating around everywhere, I even believe some of those are microbubbles. Im running an IM10 g for about a month now, tank cycle properly, all level were 0. I finally added my first clown and some hardy corals, everything is thriving and loving it. For about a week now, I've been having this problem where small particles or micro bubbles are floating around everywhere in my water. I've been using sachem clarity once a week, it doesn't seem to be doing much.. Aside from weekly water changes and blowing my rocks, what else can I do or add in my tank to make these stupid particles/bubbles go away? the tank is so beautiful and these little things are ruining the beauty of it. Any tips would be great thanks (before you say it, I know the tank is young, I've been in the hobby for 5 years, I know what to expect and I know patience is key. but something with these particles is just telling me something is off)
