I am using Dr. Timm's Ammonium Chloride solution for Fishless Cycle
I am following the directions on their website.The thing is I am also following the instruction on the tests for API and according to Dr. Timms test kits are inaccurate. So do i adjust the reading or do I not follow their instructions and make the solution match the tests? If I need to adjust the results of the API tests how do I do it?
That's okay because until 2 day ago I was doing the trate test wrong.I was shaking bottle 2 for 30 seconds but I was only shaking it for 5 secs not 1 minute.Funny thing about that though.I have been hitting Youtube like crazy and I was watching a video about testing trates with API test kit and they were shaking the test tube for a minute and I was like not only are they holding their finger over the lid like it said not to but they are shaking it for to long.Sure enough, they may have been putting their finger over the top of the test tube but you are supposed to shake it for a minute and then wait five minutes before checking results.My bad..thought it was the other giving you fits
Do you have any suggestions on how to get better readings? Thank you for your input.Def looks like you are cycling away. It could be 2 ppm for ammonia, but the only thing you want to be sure about is it hitting 0 in 24 hours when you dose ammonia.
