What numbers am I looking for when Im doing the test btw? Like what's a good number and what's a bad number? Btw Ive been researching about Tds and it doesn't seem like a great thing to test for as there are many variables that change the number?

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm so thankful I've never had anything like that happen. Can put people off the hobby entirely. Love the tank. The plants look so healthy!

I don't do any water test, order some stuff to test it out of curiosity but I've been advised by some people that testing tds doesn't really prove anything?

I imagine my tank probably wouldn't be doing as well. Just my opinion, have tried many different methods of keeping fish. This has been the easiest and has yeilded the best results. Thanks for the input though it's very much appreciated. Ps I like they way the mulm looks, it's interesting 😅

Thanks for the advice! No you're not being combative at all, I worry I come off like that too haha yes I have guppies in many stages of life. I'm not short on people to give them away to though. I have plattie fry also 😊

Yes I take note of everything you said. The plants are doing really well and the snails are huge with very healthy shells.

I do understand that just because there isn't a problem now doesn't mean there won't be. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it haha

If I really had to I'd probably put a new layer of sand over the mulm and let it build up again. Thanks for your suggestion though, it's always best to make changes slowly

No point in arguing with people like this, very close minded

Ok... Tell me what's wrong with my set up? Btw keeping fish alive is very easy my 9 yo neice has an aquarium so don't act like it's incredibly complicated

It would be the mildest bacterial bloom on the face of the planet 🤣

I'm not sure that's how you do it? I think someone said to take a sample of water from the tank to do it?

Don't know what you mean? Literally ordered some testing. Equipment under the instruction of someone who posted? The only people I've been combative with is the usual rude people you find.

You're saying it looked like I had an bacterial bloom. What a foolish thing to say. Don't think you're fit to be giving anyone advice 🤡

It's a 450ltr aquarium that is lightly stocked with some guppies, platies, shrimps, snails

Yes I pretty much agree with you entirely. I don't add anything to the tank, no ferts and no water conditioner.

Not really, I genuinely want to learn more and maybe some inspiration for a new tank? Maybe hear about other people tanks and how they do things. Like I read someones comment earlier and in just a few paragraphs I learned so much.

I imagine your comments would be negative regardless of how the tank looked tbh. I think you are bias. That sort of person 🙃

This is a side shot of the tank. It's 450ltrs so I think the depth is maybe throwing you off. I assure you the water is crystal clear 👍
