CONCLUSION


This subject has been approached by us at its highest level but brought to you in its basic form.

It is hoped that having read this brochure you should now see that you do not need a university degree to understand the water chemistry, and it certainly isn't exactly rocket science that we are talking about. You should now have a better understanding of how the basic elements within the water work together to give us the various readings that relate to the hardness, softness, acidity or alkalinity.

You must remember that it is possible to sort out any water problem by identifying its cause, rather than trying to treat its symptom. Therefore we cannot stress enough the fact that REGULAR maintenance of Bio-filters is essential as is the need for regular weekly water changes. The use of ALL SIX TEST KITS is imperative in order to monitor and be able to prevent major problems occurring in the aquarium.

The responsibility lies with us all to ensure that we provide our fish with the water they require, rather than putting them in the water that comes straight from the tap that we cannot be bothered to check or treat and can be potentially lethal for our fish.

It should be remembered that certain fish like certain water, so a soft water fish MUST HAVE SOFT WATER, if you put it in hard water IT WILL DIE, just the same as a marine fish will die if you put it in fresh water. We list the PH & GH ranges on our price list for all the fish that we sell so that it is easy to see what water parameters we keep our fish at. By putting your fish in the water they need you will see a big proportion of secondary problems and losses disappear, all by themselves.

Happy fish are healthy fish, they can only be happy if they are in the correct - WATER QUALITY
