| Test | Results |
| NH3 (ammonia) | 0 mg/L |
| NO2 (nitrite) | 0 mg/L |
| NO3 (nitrate) | 10 mg/L |
| CA (calcium) | 2 drops = 2*20 = 40 mg/L |
| PO4 (phosphate) | 0.25 mg/L |
| FE #1 (toxic iron) | 0 mg/L |
| FE #2 (chelated iron) | 0 mg/L |
| GH (general hardness) | 4 drops = 4*20 = 80 ppm = 4.48 dH |
| KH (carbonate hardness) | 4 drops = 4*10 = 40 ppm = 2.24 dCH |
| pH (high test) | 7.4 pH |
| pH (low test) | 7.4 pH |
The general hardness and carbonate hardness has dropped drastically. Either the plants are consuming some of the "hardness", or the tap water has also experienced a drop in hardness. I decided to test the tap water hardness just to check:
Tap Water Sample Test Results GH (general hardness) 6 drops = 6*20 = 120 ppm = 6.72 dH KH (carbonate hardness) 10 drops = 10*10 = 100 ppm = 5.60 dCH
Great. Now I have no idea what is going on with the water in the aquarium. I'm hoping that I get a chance to talk to Greg the fish tech at Drs. Foster Smith for further help.
