Today my API freshwater master testkit arrived. I made order directly from US to Japan because this testkit seems to be the highest rated in AA. Before that, I just used ammonia and nitrite testkit during cycling and weekly check after cycled. Last month, I bought purigen and put it into my canister.
Today is my first time testing my water for pH and nitrate.
pH seems to be around 7.5, both for water from tap and from tank. I got highest level color for low level pH and lowest level color for high level pH, so it should be around 7.5, right ?
ammonia : 0 as usual
nitrite : 0 as usual
nitrate : 0 ?
I did last pwc two weeks ago. Is is normal to get nitrate reading of 0 ? Is it because of the purigen ? i put around 300 ml of purigen in my 75g tank and it seems a little bit dark brown.
I can assure that my tank is cycled. I monitor the cycling with testkit and it already 5 months old.
Any comments ?
