🎉 And the WINNER is Brandon Joshua! 🎉
Congratulations Brandon! You've won this week's Trivia Challenge! 🥳 A $20 livestock credit will be placed on your account!

✅ This Week's Answer: A – pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, KH (Alkalinity), GH (Hardness)
These six parameters are the core foundation for freshwater stability:
-Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate: Track the nitrogen cycle and biofilter health.
-pH: Ensures proper acidity for your fish species.
-KH (Alkalinity): Buffers pH swings.
-GH (Hardness): Supplies essential minerals for fish and plant health.
💡 Bonus: Once these are steady, you can fine-tune extras like iron, potassium, and phosphate for planted tanks! 🌿

Great job everyone ☺️! Thanks for playing along - Stay tuned for the next splash of knowledge 💦— same tank-time, same tank-channel.
(*All valid answers submitted timely were counted and entered into the contest. Winner randomly selected- Facebook Profile photo included so no confusion on names 😎)
