Water quality has been a big part of our aquarium project this semester. When we first started i had no idea what water quality test involved or what procedures to do. Then my teachers explained the steps about the nitrate and amonnia tests. Then told us to do the basics which include temperature. At the beggining the test results were horrible so we realized we had to change the water so the nitrate level would go down. Then after the water was changed the water quality continued to get better. Until after a while the nitrate level went back up and there was another need for a water changed. I realized that haveing a big tank takes a lot of water changes and a lot of work.
