Never getting F8's

Post by My HD PVR »

Today I went to my LFS to finally get my f8's. I tested my water, and everything was fine except my ammonia being higher before I left. And I know why that is, my tank was WAY overfed. It was practically at 0 before I left and now its around .25 .50, so now im back where i was

The ammonia should have been all the way at 0ppm before you went to get the fish...
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

You really should get a test kit of your own. It's a must-have for any fishkeeper.
