Aquarium water test kit makers are not going to like me. I don’t care. Here’s the truth about aquarium water testing that the most pro fish keepers know but don’t talk about. It’s their big secret and is often contrary to the advice that they are giving out. In this video I reveal the secret and hope it’s something that you will consider as you become more and more advanced, a pro, as a fish keeper.

Share your water testing tips and suggestions in the comments below. Remember, we all learn from each other at this channel.

Remember to ALWAYS BE LEARNING and never forget that YOU ROCK!

Keeping fish is truly a fluid situation. What works for one fish keeper or one set-up might not work in another. Do your research, gathering information from various sources, before making any major changes or making final decisions about your tank.
