Water smell

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Do you guys know if i can get a pdf copy of the color test card online? Trying to look for one....

The problem started couple of weeks ago... i consolidate a lot of my fishes into the main tank especially the smaller tiger datnoids
I did water change twice a week and if i remember correctly, the smell was not as bad

1) Asian arowana 17 inch plus approx. (am bad with estimation of size)
2) Fly river Turtle (14 inch)
3) Flagatil (14 inch) and flagtail (8 inches)
4) Red shoulde severum (6 inches)
5) 9 black barred dollars (5 inches to 7 inches)
6) 2 New Guinea Tiger (8 inches)
7) 11 Tiger Datnoids ( 5 to 9 inches) (NTT and IT)

Filtration:
1) 2 FX5
2) 3 Eheim pro 3 2080 with the eheim recommended media
3) 2 Whisper AP 300 air pump
4) UV 36 Watts Coralife


I will sell some of my fish once i figured out which one i will keep
 
Thanks a lot

I am using the API master kit, so for testing ammonia, there are 2 bottles and you need to add 8 drops of bottle 1 and 8 drops of bottle 2.

Now, from the link, it appears that there are 2 card readings...one is in the first row, the pic on the left and second one is in the first row and 4th pic from the left...

do you guys know which card should i be looking at...i had couple of test kits before and i cant remember which card is for which test kit.

thanks
 
ones salt ones fresh

btw you need to wait 5 mins after adding drops
 
Thanks

My reading is 0mm....

I was actually surprised to see the readings since for some reasons, the color card that is stuck is my head is white for 0mm ammonia (i think API ammonia card was white for 0mm couple of years ago, or may be i am mistaken)

What about nitrate test card? The API master test kit has 2 BOTTLES as well and you need to add 10 drops of first bottle and 10 drops of second bottle... Can you please post a pic of the applicable nitrate test card.

Thanks again
 
Thanks a lot guys....

Just to confirm one more time that both the ammonia and nitrate test color are for API
 
yea those are api the directions are from my cards
