Well that’s embarrassing for me isn’t it lol! Thank you so much, honestly, it means a lot! I definitely know much more now!

Okay, thank you! It appears I’m not very good at math because I was under the assumption that my 0.1 ammonia reading was equivalent to 1ppm ammonia but I may totally be embarrassing myself either way so I’ll say it anyway would my ammonia reading on the chart need to be 10.0 to be 1ppm? Either...

Thank you so much for all of your help, you’ve really clarified the testing process for me, I think I’ll stick with the combined 0.5 ppm as it’s easy to remember and as you’ve said safe, so that’s reassuring to me. The plan going forward is to dose seachem prime as needed, as a single dose can...

Messages have crossed over once again, so to finally conclude if ammonia (tan) and Nitrate readings combined go above 0.5 I do a water change, thank you so much! And thank you for emailing them, you’ve been a great help!

https://www.ntlabs.co.uk/knowledge-hub/water-quality-parameters-in-freshwater-aquariums/ I’ve found the answer! TAN is being measured not free ammonia, so the current reading is safe and is of no concern? At what point on that scale should I be concerned? Greater than 0.2ppm (the second reading...

Well now I’m actually more confused because that picture attached is from the NTLAB website but on my mini aquarium test kit the ‘!’ Is present at the 0.2 reading and not the 1.0! So now I’m unsure of whether it is free ammonia or TAN! �� any ideas? Thank you

Thank you, on the NTLABS aquarium test kit the ammonia levels on the back of the box are in the url picture attached And the first bright yellow indicator stated 0 and the second where it’s turning kind of green states 0.2 so from that I got that my ammonia level is currently 0.1 as it’s...

Thank you! Any help is appreciated because I’m quite the worrier! So I continue as is for the time being? I have ordered a nitrate test which is arriving tomorrow, by the end of the week if they are showing below 40ppm that is a positive sign that the cycle is starting, yeah?

Hello all, I am a complete Newbie to the hobby and I messed up from day one. Hence the fish in cycle. I know that some people are not keen on this method of cycling and I can only apologise and highlight that my main concern regarding this thread is so that my fish aren’t negatively impacted. I...
