Hi guys!
Story short. I took some of my tank's water for testing to a reputable fish store were they tested for phosphates. The color from the test results was so dark that it was way off chart. The guys at the fish store told me that there's no natural way to get that amount of phosphates in my water, that is has to be something chemical.
I haven't used any additives other than Excel and Flourish comprehensive for the plants, and aquarium salt, blackwater extract and Seachem Prime for my Betta.
The guys at the fish store suspect the Tetra's BettaSafe water conditioner that I used to use before I found Prime, and the Petco gravel that I have as substrate.
Any ideas?
