Mscott19833 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Absolute novice here... Can someone please tell me in a cichlid tank what do you test your water for and what are the parameters? Obviously I know about ph, what else do you test for. You guys are probably going to get sick of my basic questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 the other tests are usually kH carbonate harness gH general hardness nitrate nitrite ammonia depending on the fish and it's water parameters you may need to adjust the hardness levels usually up if it's Malawi, Tang or Central Americans with what they give us from the tap don't know what your water parameters are straight from the tap in Shepparton and testing that is what gives you a base reading to adjust from with the tanks nitrate, nitrite and ammonia indicate how your biological filtration is opperating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
