Liquid test kit?

[Dylan5359]

My ammonia part of the liquid test kit has transparent drops, I just began cycling so there's no ammonia but why isn't it coming up as that green color of 0? Like it's just clear.

what test kit?

 

[Dylan5359]

The liquid test kit. The one with the vials, and chemicals.

are you using treated tap water?

 

[Dylan5359]

I'm using the SW in my tank. It was declorinized before I added the salt.

 

[kurtyboh]

what type of water did you fill your tank with?

 

[Dylan5359]

Regular tap. Then treated with a declorinizer. Waited 24 hours. Then added salt

 

[carey]

Did you use both bottles of testing solution? If you don't add the second 8 drops then youll end up with no color.

 

[kurtyboh]

you can try testing your tap water, may have some in it.

also did you add anything else to your tank that was from another tank?

 

[Dylan5359]

LMFAO! Thank you! I did not know that! I thought it was. Just an extra bottle! Thanks! Haha

 

[kurtyboh]

test the water right from your tap, could already be in there.

Also did you add anything from another tank?

 

[carey]

I went thru the same thing. LOL Then it turned out my bottles were expired. I bet you get a result now

 

[carey]

make sure you post your results!

 

[Dylan5359]

Haha. Yeah i'll take a test right now. Wow. That makes sense. It only came with one nitrate bottle! I thought they were just to cheap to give me another with the pack! Hahah

 

[carey]

There should be 2 nitrate bottles too

 

[carey]

Nitrite and ph require one bottle of solution. Ammonia, nitrate and phoshate off the top of my head are double concoctions

 

[Dylan5359]

Oh yeah nitrite. That's what I ment.
