Low Nitrates...PAT
You are right. I did manage to pick up a NITRITE test. And they test
ZERO..no nitrites are present. My fish are thriving and happily

Low Nitrates
I can't find a test for Nitrites..only Nitrates. I hear they don't make
them.
Well anyway, I change 95% of the water VERY frequently because of my
tank size.

As I said, I have a dwarf gourami, a tiny clawed frog, a baby gourami,

Eclipse Hex 5 Tank
No. I had a 2.5 gallon before this one.
I can't have huge tanks with my limited space. The tank is pretty tall.

Eclipse Hex 5 Tank
I have upgraded to this tank with the bio-wheel. Is the bio-wheel better
