    What's in that skim mate?

    I hadn't read the the article before I commented:) what you are looking for is a elemental analyzer. It vaporizes the sample blasting apart the compounds. Very cool machine! Most universities have at least one of these, they can do many runs a day so are sometimes pretty cheap analysis! Sent...

    Just wondering why you are interested in mass spec analysis on your water? At work we get water isotope analysis done for about $150, this is in Canada! Water analysis can have a very wide range of price based on what you want to look at! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    I don't know why I have 0's...tank cycled?

    Your cycle would have resulted in nigh nitrates! This is food for algae. Do a very large water change, 50% or larger! Just cycled my 100 before Christmas, did a 80% water change and my nitrates went from off the chart to 20! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    what's my next move

    You need to wait till your ammonia drops to 0 in 24 hours! Once the ammonia you have in there now drops to 0 add ammonia again ! Don't do a water change till your bacteria can handle the ammonia Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
