hi Robin,
i'm new here too... no expert but i have heard those test strips are inaccurate, you should use the drop kind, you will get a much better reading. doing weekly water changes is always a good thing...many people neglect to change the water...
cats can be difficult, i've had troubles with them too not long ago, i had purchased 6 and lost half of them in the first few days...could be bad stock, not sure... i really watch to make sure i feed enough wafers now & watch that they are finding the food... wonder if they starve easily?
i too head down to watch my tanks after kids are in bed.. LOL... it is such a relaxing change from the hectic day, huh? :smokey: take care

What should I be testing for with the drop kind? I have had little tanks forever, and didn't pay them much attention, now I am excited and loving my big tank in my living room......this is fun!!

Besides cleaning the lens on my little camera and maybe buying drapes for that sun-shiny window, any tips on how to take better pictures of fish with just a normal little camera??
