OK some one gave me a tank

[Anonymous]

So what do you think?
I know the pictures are not all that good.
and the plants have some dead leaves but new ones grow to replace them. Is there anything you think I should do to it?

Thanks
Teddy

i've looked abit closely at the leaves, and i'd recommend you check both the kH (carbonate hardness), and your iron level.

one of them is lacking, causing those clearish brown 'patches' where the leaves are deteriorating (most likely the carbonates)

make sure the kH is at least 4-5ppm (no higher than 6-7), and that your iron level is .5-.7 ppm

GH is 160
KH is 90
non-chelated Iron is 0
Chelated Iron is 0.50

The only measurment I see is mg/L.
I hope you all would know what those numbers mean.

The test kits are made by nutrafin.
From the results It looks like the GH is high so should I just use more RO water when changing the water?

Because the test takes a half hour I will test my tap tomorrow.


Thanks for your help
