I got my used 20-gallon tank yesterday. I filled the tank and got the filter running. I've rinsed the glass rocks - not a fun task Then, I tested the water, so that I could have a baseline before adding any ammonia source. I got the following:
pH 7.4
Ammonia 0.5 (my husband thought it looked closer to 1.0)
NitrItes 0.0
NitrAtes 0.0
Then, I tested the water straight from the tap for Ammonia and got the same result. Should I be concerned that my Ammonia is not 0?
