Question:
The girl at the pet store told me to buy 2 plants i forgot what they are called but they are green with spiky looking things coming out even though it isnt hard and doesnt hurt. she said to do a 25% water change every other day but i have to change my filter soon like in about a week or less so what do i do? also its a 10 gal tank with 2 comet goldfish i am working on getting a bigger tank but it will take a few months to save but its better than a bowl!!! it has a good filter and incadescent lighting i really need to fix these i cant test it because i have to go to the pet store to test it so plllzzzz help me :(
Answers:feel free to message me for more info
As for PH, when things quiet down, buy some SeaChem Neutral Buffer and treat your tank with every water change until you get to 7.0. Then only treat when you' see a change in PH.

You can buy test kits that will let you test it from home. It's a much better option than to keep running to the pet store. They are cheap. What I would get is a pH test kit, an ammonia test kit, a nitrite test kit, and a nitrate test kit. You want ammonia to stay less than 0.5, nitrite less than 1, nitrate less than 30, and you want the pH somewhere in the 6.5-7.5 range, but more importantly, you want it to stay the same every test.
