Hello, According to API test kit I have the following readings.
ammonia: 0.25 or 0.50
nitrate: 5 or 10
nitrite: 0
PH: 8.5
Carbonate KH: 161.1
SG: 1.025
Temperature: 25 Degrees Celsius
New install!
Aquamedic Yasha Nano tank
2x large Live rock
3x small Corals
2x clown fish
1x puffer fish
Unfortunately I could not tell the difference between certain colours in the ammonia and nitrate colour charts. The ammonia colour chart level between 0.25 and 0.50 where the same colour, I found the same colour problem with the nitrate level 5 and 10ppm.
However given the above test results, should I PWC 20% of the water every day until the ammonia levels reduce to 0? Or should I wait for an increase in good bacteria? Can I wait till the end of the week and take another measurement or should I start the PWC?
I don't want dead fish!
Thank you!
