Ive been looking at the stores water chemisty for every day. Pet Smart and We love Pets, dont seem too mind when Im checking their log. Every time I check, their ph levels are 7.8 to 8.0. I think their water feeds into all the freshwater tanks at the same time.
I had a brown ague problem and there is a topic/thread about what to do about it. . The short of the long of that story was= i was not maintaining my 10 gal tank as well as i should have been. Did a w/c, took out the artifical plants and brushed the junk off of them, and poof!! a week later my tank looks great. Tommy Gunn saved the day.
