Hi all,
Carried out my first lot of water tests this evening, with interesting results.
Ammonia - Good, healthy levels. Pretty much. 0.0, in saying that, I think it is slowly creeping to 0.25 .
pH seemed quite high. Around the 8.6 - 9.0 level, so i added a few sprinkles of the ' proper ph 7.0 ' . Could the fact that after I did the first ammonia test, I rinsed the tube with warm water have anything to do with it ??
Same with the nitrite test, looked a bit too pinky for my liking, but I can't help thinking the tests weren't 100% accurate.
I added a bit of ' AmmoLock2 ' to calm some of this, as well as the proper pH 7.0. A I have about the proper pH 7.0 is -
It comes in a powdery form, so what is the best way to add it and how much ? No instructions were listed anywhere !
Many thanks in advance.
