There is no normal pH for all fish. Different fish thrive in different environments. But there are some important ranges you need to consider. Saltwater fish thrive with a pH of 8.0 to 8.3. Many tropical fish will do fine from 6.5 to 7.5. Freshwater fish do well between 5.5 and 7.5. Depending on the fish, having a pH out of these ranges will be extremely dangerous and will threaten the life of your fish. Talk to the person at your local pet store about desired pHs for specific fish. Keep in mind that pH is not static. The pH of your tank will change over time and over the course of a single day. pH levels below 6 indicates the possibility that your tank might soon become a dangerous and toxic environment for your fish. Digital testers are fairly easy to use. After you've calibrated them, it should be no work at all you will just stick the tip of the tester in the water and take your reading. Here are the steps to calibrate and then test your tank: Power up your tester and make sure it works. Pour the calibration liquid that comes with the tester in a glass bowl. Stick the tip of the tester in the calibration liquid and wait the specified amount of time per your directions. See your reading. Rinse the tester. Apply tester to your aquarium to see pH level. The chemical test might seem complicated, but if you follow directions it should only take you a few minutes. Once you've done it a few times, it will be no trouble at all, and it might even be fun. Take out your little glass test tube, color card, and pH test solution. Dip the test tube in the tank and fill it up to the 5ml line. Grab your pH test solution, and carefully squirt 3 drops (or follow your directions) into the test tube with the water in it. Put the little snap tight lid on the tube, and shake it for 1-3 minutes straight. After shaking the tube, get out your color card and under a bright light, compare the color of your water to the colors on the card. Each color will represent a pH level. If you have a strip test, simply dip the strip in the water, wait a minute, and compare it to a color card. Each color will represent a pH level. If you test often, you'll know if the water is safe for your fish and plants. Test twice a week. This is the best way to monitor the pH level of your water. Test twice a day if you have recently done a water change. This way, you'll know if all the steps you've taken to achieve a certain pH level are actually working. Test after you've introduced anything new into the tank. Sometimes new plants, rocks, and other items will change the pH level of your water. Also, if you've added a substantial amount of new fish, check your pH. Maintenance and prevention are two of the most important things when it comes to achieving your desired pH level. There are certain things you should do take into consideration: Add new water on a regular basis. New water will help maintain acceptable pH levels. Never replace your water entirely. This will upset the balance between chemicals, bacteria, and pH that you've been working to achieve. Aerate your water to maintain healthy levels of oxygen. This will help keep your desired pH. Add solutions and other conditioners in order to maintain a healthy pH level for your fish. Remove dead fish or plants to avoid bacteria accumulation, or an increase in ammonia or nitrate levels. This will all lead to an unhealthy pH level.

summary: Determine the desired pH of your aquarium. Try out your digital tester, if that's the test method you chose. Use your chemical test, if you bought one. Test your aquarium and test often. Prevent your pH from leaving your desired range.

Do you really want that ABC dresser in your room? No way! Go out and get some new furniture. You'll need a bed (of course), a dresser, a bookcase, a bedside table, and a desk. Try buying all of your furniture in the same color so that your room doesn't look too crazy (unless that's your intention). Look in thrift stores for bargain furniture finds. Just check there is no insect infestation before dragging it home though; if you're not sure, take a flashlight along and do a close inspection. This is more of an issue in some places than others, so ask your parents for advice. Consider repainting old furniture for a completely new look that matches your color scheme. To brighten and modernize your room a little, don't just buy a bed, dresser, desk, etc., but a small couch and bedside table too. Look at the color of the furniture that you want to buy and think of how it would look against the color of your room. When your friends come over and hang out, you don't want them to sit on the floor. Buy some chairs so that you and your friends have a comfy spot to sit. You can buy some beanbag chairs, or a moon chair. Even an ottoman would work well, especially if it has storage space inside. Try to keep your furniture within your color scheme. Give it to a charity, or if you want some profit, sell it online on websites such as Amazon, eBay or one of a small number of third-party sellers online. Put the bedside table by your bed, the couch on the opposite side of your desk, etc.

summary: Get some new furniture if you can afford it. Buy some chairs. Consider donating your old furniture to a good home. Don't just place it in a spot that crams everything, but space it out a little.

Chickens are attracted to bare patches of ground. If you keep the ground of your garden densely covered but have a separate area of bare ground within view, most chickens will leave the garden behind and gravitate toward the uncovered soil. Clear a square space roughly 1 yard (91.4 cm) long and 1 yard (91.4 cm) wide. Remove all plant life from that space, including weeds and grass, leaving only the bare soil behind. The chickens will gravitate toward this area. They may scratch and poke around for insects, and they'll often use this space for dust baths. If they have a space dedicated for these purposes, they may not be inclined to do these things elsewhere in your yard. It is also a good idea to sprinkle diatomaceous earth over this patch of ground every few months to keep chicken mites away. If you're trying to repel your own chickens, you might want to consider planting two separate gardens: one for you and one for your chickens. Fill the chicken garden with plenty of appealing and healthy edible plants for your chickens to nibble on. This trick works best when used in conjunction with other chicken-repelling techniques. Creating a separate chicken garden may not be enough to solve the problem if it is the only thing you do. Your chicken garden should include bushes and low-growing trees that can provide shelter for chickens needing to hide from the sun or from potential predators. Include an evergreen shrub so that the chickens have cover in the winter, as well. Planting edible bushes will be a bonus feature for the chickens. Berry bushes, like elderberry and blueberry bushes, are usually good options. When you're trying to manage your own chickens, the use of edible bushes can also reduce the cost of feeding your chickens.
summary: Keep bare patches away from the garden. Plant a separate garden for the chickens.
