Results of our tank:


pH Level
Nitrates
Nitites
gH (General Hardness)
kH (Carbonate Hardness)
6.8
10
0
>10
>15

Well the pH level is almost neutral which is good. The nitrates are a bit high, which is bad for the fish but the nitrites are much worst, therefore I’m glad that there are no nitrites in the water. According to the gH(general hardness) results, I compared mine to the results of the other students in class and found that the water in my tank was actually hard. The carbonate hardness in my tank was also high.
Luckily, I still needed to conduct a water change that day, so hopefully the nitrates decreased, the water became softer and the kH level decreased.
