Nitrate - 0
Out of the 20 fish I added yesterday, I think maybe three remain. Doubt they will make it to the morning. What a waste, I should have tested the water first.
At this point I feel like I need to do something about the ph level and not let nature take its course. I wonder if the algae killer had something to do with the ph because it jumped a whole point?
SOLUTION: lemon concentrate. You know, that stuff you add to tea or use to make lemonade with? That's the stuff. I added 1/4 of cup, wait 24 hours, test the water and repeat until the PH is at a safe point enough.
