I am having an ammonia problem with 2 new tanks.The ammonia is testing in both tanks at 8.0 ppm +.I am doing daily 25% water changes.I did a test of my tap water and here are the results.Ph 7.8 ammonia 1.5 ppm,nitrites .25 ppm Gh is normal.My question is could it be I am either not doing the ammonia test correctly?I am using the bottle and test tube method for testing.Should i buy a ammonia strip test just to compare the results?The fish in both tanks seem fine,fins are not laying down,and I don't see an issue of fish hanging at the top of the tank or hanging on the bottom of the tank,they are active.1 tank has an ich problem that is improving. Any advice on this weird ammonia test is appreciated.Thanks y'all for really helping accelerate my learning curve.
