Ok so here's my thing, i'm trying to cycle a stubborn tank...
I've been using both the API Test kit(NH3 & NH4+) AND the SeaChem Ammonia Alert(NH4+) i used Prime for all my Water changes and dose pretty heavy
Now the SeaChem Ammonia Alert has been showing no change in color...While the API Test kit shows an Ammonia level of around 2.0...No Nitrites or Nitrates levels yet
Does this mean the Ammonia being detected by the API kit is only seeing NH4+(Ammonium) AND what Ammonium level is dangerous to fish?
I'm going to do a couple 50% water changes right now....But i think it would be good to know, in general, if there IS an Ammonium level that is dangerous to fish
