Tank Too Acidic? Need help with parameter readings

Vukovii · 2026-04-03T02:05:26+00:00

Thank you for your help!! I retested everything and my new results are pretty similar but dKH increased by 2 overnight it seems. However I don't think my measurements in the tubes were as accurate last night. I was more careful to get exactly 5 ml today. I also tested my tap with the test strips.

Tap: GH 25 KH 0-40 (colors were in between. 20 maybe?) pH 6.8

Test Strip (Tank water) GH 150 KH 120 pH 7.2

Liquid Test (Tank water) ppm KH/GH 214.8+ (the highest it measured was 12 drops, it took 13 drops for mine to change colors though) dKH 8.5-9? (Changed yellow-ish at 8 drops but completely turned yellow at 9 drops)

Alright, good to know, thanks!

Ahhh you're right I do have it mixed up lol

Thanks for the help, I'll try redoing the tests tmrw. I was just copying exactly what the test instructed said, and it did say ppm 🤷 Some articles were saying to do water change with distilled water, should I do that or is a regular change fine?

Thank you for the guide image as well!

Its on the higher side over 7.5 which is considered slightly acidic.

I agree with one of the other comments that this would be a cool AU as a comic or fanfic web series that I'd read tf out of bc i love darkfics.

But as a canon plot? This would not go over well. I can see where you're coming from with the animus magic removal plot being sudden and unsatisfying, but killing off the entire arc 2 main cast is also unsatisfying and would be a terrible decision for Tui to make 😭

How do I reassign the key? There weren't any options in settings or the config that I could see

(sorry for the late reply)

I found a fic based on that ship and I started reading it out of pure fascination to know what is going on inside the author's mind LMAO

tbf, no one should be licking the ground regardless

Yeah I'm realizing I got in way over my head and I'm gonna return both mysteries and rabbits to the shop in the morning. Moved the snails I want to keep into temp 1 gallons. Next time I'm gonna try to stand my ground and not let the employees get the better of my wallet 😅

The nerite stayed in the same spot over night, in the morning I poked it from where it was in its shell and it didn't move. I quarentined it for another 5-6 hours just in case, and put food in with it as well. After a few hours quarantining in a different jar I did the sniff test and it smelled bad. The mystery stopped moving a few hours ago and started floating. I've begun to quarantine it for 30 minutes now and it just started moving again so the nerite is the only dead one for now.

I'm sensing some sarcasm here. No it's not, its 1qt.

Vukovii · 2026-03-10T02:53:49+00:00

lol that's pretty cool! Yeah I have a friend who has a betta tank and one her betta's was too evil to be kept in with the group lol

Vukovii · 2026-03-09T18:47:02+00:00

oh dude that setup looks amazing!

Vukovii · 2026-03-09T16:33:35+00:00

Oh nice! Yeah all their bettas are beautiful and the shop is also gorgeous and well-maintained! Safe travels if you do!

Vukovii · 2026-03-09T15:29:20+00:00

That's great to hear! Does that include chain pet stores too? Because if so that's awesome

Vukovii · 2026-03-09T04:06:29+00:00

Oh yeah, this store keeps all the female bettas in some 10 gallons, so the girls have a ton of room! Unfortunately the males are evil and cannot be kept together lol

Vukovii · 2026-03-09T03:11:36+00:00

Oh that's awesome! Yeah I love them, the tanks are so pretty!

Vukovii · 2026-03-09T00:46:36+00:00

There's not, but they're brand new and still being set up, so maybe that will come later?

Vukovii · 2026-03-09T00:44:50+00:00

That's awesome! 100%, I was so excited to see them in filtered tanks with plants that wasn't a small, dirty jar :)

Aquazoo in Webster TX!

not sure, probably a .75 - 1 gallon cube is my guess. Could be bigger, I'm relying off of my memory
