Well, I use API. The test kits are new (as you can imagine, since I've been testing almost daily for a couple of months).
I dosed the Amm on the 19th to 4.0ppm and in 24 hours it was at 2.0 so I was going to check it again (since it usually drops 2ppm/day) last night and forgot to do that. So this morning, 2 days after I dosed it up, it was at 0 which is where I thought it was going to be.
I possibly misread the NitrAtes because it is a nice dark color and might still be at 30. Sometimes reading the number is a close call.
I could check the water every 12 hours to see what is happening in the tank. That might be a better idea than waiting a full 24.
