Problems with Anubias Nana?!

The ammonia monitor is nice, and I've heard other people recommend them. However, both the PH monitors that him and I got seem to be out of wack. I have to do another test (rrrr) to confirm this, but his was saying 5.2 when his ph was 6.5. We bought it from the same store, could have been a bad shipment.

Thank you! :):)

When I was sold it they told me to treat is as a low-light tank. Random word of caution: when I moved the light close to the water(about an inch and a half?) I noticed what looked like burns on the bacopa. Apparently they were, because they left when I moved it farther up. Rethinking this from the perspective of having common sense, it's obvious, so you prob wouldn't do it, but better safe than sorry, lol.

It comes with a 9 watt bulb. The square dimensions add up to a 3.5 gallon tank, not including the bow front, but how much water is in there when you factor out gravel, area used etc is something I don't want to do, heh. Probably does come out to somewhere near 3 watts per gallon.

And thanks:)

I moved the moss ball. Thanks, Bansart, for all your help! The Anubias leaf actually changed color back already, and the dots are fading. That's an amazing plant.
 
No problem :). Im glad to hear your anubias is doing better. Oh by the way about the ammonia monitor. My bro and I had the same one and it was also out of wack. Thinking it was the cartridge we went ahead and bought some and replaced it and it was still out of wack. I know its a long process but nothing really beats using an actual test kit to check your parameters.
 
Am picking up one of those all in one test kits soon:). It's frustrating, the one thing I didn't do research on was the bottled bacteria, so I stocked the tank and the poor things have to go through the cycle. All of them seem happy, are eating well and one of the frogs shed yesterday, so I hope that they're going to be fine.
