What is this reading to you guys??

[RICH305]

Ammonia levels ...picture with tank is the background is today and other one yesterday?

 

[hackteck]

kinda hard to tell but it looks close to 0 to me when they get so close to untraceable like that its hard to tell 0 from 0.25 sometimes

 

[RICH305]

I've been running tank for 30 days took to get my water tested and the local fish store told me my water was good..can that be that my tank is cycled

 

[melosu58]

It`s cycled if nitrites are 0 also.

 

[0o.Kelsey.o0]

the one from today looks to be zero, the other one looks to be 0.25-0.5...hard to tell but it's not zero haha

I have the same api and I kept running into the same problem. However I actually read the instructions one day and it said to let the test sit for 5 min before reading which fixed my problem on telling the colo8r of the water

How many fish to a 84 gallon tank?

 

[Crepe]

You're reading it wrong. Uncap the tube and look down it with the card underneath it. You'll find that it'll actually closely resemble the colors on the chart that way.

Well lfs said tank was cycled when can I do water changes and how many water percent change do j have to do

Test what do you guys think?

I have these jungle one test strips and I got these results. Can my cycle be done after running this tank since march 2?? Test look good to me let me kno what u guys think?

They look Okay to me. Do a 30% PWC and be sure to put a sprinkle of fish food every other day until you add a fish to keep your bacteria levels up.
