Hello,
We recently got a new 20 gallon tank setup. It's been cycling for about a week now, We originally started using some Tetra water conditioner for the first little bit. We did a few water changes up to this point, yesterday we got the Seachem Prime/Stability to start using. We did a water change today with the prime and stability, we have one of our guppies in the tank now as he was getting really anxious in his old one.
He's been in there for about two days, he was a little anxious at first but has calmed down now.
We added a little bit of the current tank water (I did a test earlier, it's sitting at 0 ammonia)
We also got the API freshwater master rest kit results below from earlier today:
pH - 7.2(low)/7.4(high)
Ammonia - 0.25
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0 (I did shake it well for the minute and before doing the drops).
I'm not sure if these readings are good? We have only done three tests over two days, and they have all been the same results shown above. We did bring a water sample to a LFS, they use the same test kit and came up with the same results (I wanted to make sure I was doing it right).
I know 0 ammonia is what we want, I assume it will drop?
Thanks
