Hi Liz,
Although clearer water is a good sign, unfortunately it does not always
equate to better water *quality. *It's a pity you didn't write the readings
down but would be better still if you had a test kit at home because
relying on the store is a very hit & miss affair & also very subjective. A
good water conditioner is AquaSafe by Tetra. As William said, the more
often you do partial water changes the better your overall quality will be
because you are diluting the toxins that are constantly building up.
