Each week we keep a daily record of our Water Quality Test results. We created a worksheet to help us track the ups and downs of the various chemical data. We use this data to determine any adjustments we need to make to the tank - such as a water change, pH down drops added or a filter cleaning. The following is sample of our early data:
