Is The Water OK?

You might have heard of a "pH level" in water,
but do you even really know what that means?
If not, I'm here to tell you what it is and how to test it.

pH is pretty much just the acidity level in the water, 
But it has to be tested.
That is critical to the salmons' survival.

The caretakers also test the nitrate, nitrite, hardness,
chlorine, and alkalinity of the water. (see "The Helpful Maintenance Chart")  
This is the diagram for the water:
Before & After

    
Can you tell how good the condition of the water is in the after photo?

  1. Good morning, Mrs. Miller's class! The water looks great after you treated it-the fish should be happy. I am curious about whether our power outage affected the fish at all. Were you able to keep the water warm and aerated?
