I'm sure some have seen my thread about me not having nitrates and then all of a sudden I do.

Summary: The test strips I used to use always gave me around 20ppm. Then I started the API and it always told me 0ppm. At the last wc, API tells me 5ppm on the 20g but not on the other two tanks. I am testing correctly, just like it says on the card. Did I miss something??

Worldwide statistics indicate that a disease affecting fish owners is on the rise again.
MTS is a common disease among fish keepers that causes them to buy and maintain multiple tanks.
This poses a problem for those who can not afford it.
These helpless fish addicts devote all their time and money to their aquariums.
If you would like to support these unfortunate souls, please PM me for more details.
