Well I have to disagree on this part I have a 20g thats 9 months and a 29g thats 4 months old I have been faithful with 10% water changes...anyhoo last Thursday I finally bought a calcium test kit ...I know I know everyone should have one, I tested at 460 ppm in the 20 and 440 ppm in the 29. From what the instruction says that between 400-500 is ideal. I have maybe used 3 teaspoons of Kent liquid calcium in this time, I was to scared to use it cause I didn't have a test kit
I think it is maintainence and water changes or maybe my tanks do not require as much calcium and I maintain with water changes or maybe I'm a fluke....anyways where was a going with this?....
.......I forget I'll be back
