Pets West offers free fish tank water tests to all of our customers at any time!
Whether you're starting a new tank, checking the water quality of an established tank, or looking to make the addition of more fish to your tank it's always a good idea to get your fish tank water tested!
Water tests are welcome on a drop-in basis. Knowing the quality of the water in your aquarium is a great way to isolate problems within your fish tank environment, or to prevent small upsets from becoming a big problem.

Pets West is happy to help you ensure the following:

PH Level - ideal range for most freshwater fish is 6.8-7.2
"This is the measure of the activity (power) of the hydrogen ions in the water. The stability of the pH is related to water alkalinity and hardness. Rapid changes in pH are detrimental to fish"
 
Chlorine and Chloramines
These are added to city water supplies to make the water supply safe for human consumption. Be certain to always use a de-chlorinator when adding water to an aquarium because any amount of chlorine is toxic to fish.
 
Ammonia – Ideal level is 0ppm
"Aquariums with properly operating filtration systems should have no ammonia present (after they have been cycled). In new aquariums, Ammonia Removers can be used to lower ammonia levels, along with partial water changes"
Nitrite – Ideal levels are 0ppm

"Nitrite reduces the ability of the fish’s blood to carry oxygen. You can remove excess nitrite from an aquarium by performing a partial water change. Adding salt to the water at 0.1-0.3% (1-3 teaspoons of aquarium salt per gallon of water) also reduces nitrite toxicity."
 
Nitrate – Ideal levels are 0ppm
"If nitrate levels exceed 40 mg/L, water changes can be used to lower the concentration. High levels of nitrate can also cause increased algae growth."
 
Hardness – Ideal levels are less than 1 degree of hardness
"Water with high hardness usually has a high pH. Softening the water will lower the pH. Most fish will adapt to moderate hardness levels."

NutraFin Bio-Clear - Biological water clarifier. This product clarifies cloudy aquarium water caused by new tank syndrome, excess food, organic waste and decaying plant remnants.
