Hi Guys,
I'm trying to mix a 20L bucket of salt water. Please see the following findings:
ammonia levels in fresh water results
********************************
Before adding de-chlorinating agent ammonia level was 0ppm
After adding de-chlorinating agent ammonia level was 0ppm
After adding Ultimate Aqua Care Salt ammonia level was 0.25ppm
After adding the Salt the Specific Gravity was 1.024
Re-measured the same water after 3 hours, the ammonia level was 0.25ppm
Is the above result expected? should I expect an increase in ammonia after adding salt mix into the water? Does this mean I have some bad salt powder?
Your help is appreciated, because I need to start a daily 15% pwc to reduce some ammonia levels in my nano reef tank.
Thank you & Regards
