So I started my tank in December, been doing the fishless cycle since December 27th at that date I dosed it to 4.5-5ppm ammonia with blue ribbon ammonia. Since then I have been slowly adding decor and arranging everything how I want it got all that done about 3 weeks ago. My problem is I have barely noticed any change in ammonia since ive added it and am still only seeing trace amounts of nitrites. Today my readings are...
Ph=7.6
Temp=82
Ammonia=2.5-3? hard to tell
Nitrites=0.1
Nitrates=0.0
After this long im thinking something is wrong, ive looked at everything from my tap water to my ph level and read all i can about fishless cycling now im back to square one wondering what i did in December. Is a marine lab test kit ok to test freshwater? I was told yes only the Ph test is different. This is the one I got from my LFS Red Sea Marine Lab Test Kit
Please tell me this kit is not for freshwater and these readings im getting are way off and my tank is cycled and ready for fish...lol im getting very impatient
