Any Effect from Substrate Replacement?

Posted on 4:27 PM by Unknown
Tonight I tested the water to check to see if there were any ill effects from changing out the substrate. Here are the test results:




Water Sample
TestResults
NH3 (ammonia)0 mg/L
NO2 (nitrite)0 mg/L
NO3 (nitrate)10 mg/L
CA (calcium) drops = 2*20 = 40 mg/L
PO4 (phosphate)0.25 mg/L
FE #1 (toxic iron)0 mg/L
FE #2 (chelated iron)0.1 mg/L
GH (general hardness)6 drops = 6*20 = 120 ppm = 6.72 dH
KH (carbonate hardness)7 drops = 7*10 = 70 ppm = 3.92 dCH
pH (high test)7.6 pH


Everything looks likes it is in the green. If there had been any problems, I would have probably seen some ammonia and/or nitrites.




I called Drs. Foster Smith and again talked to Greg the fish tech. I really wanted to see if I could go ahead and order plants and other live inhabitants for my tank. Greg suggested that I wait a week or so and then retest the water - just to make sure that the tank really is still ok. Sounds like a plan!
