I borrowed a friends Saltwater Ammonia Test kit (the Aquarium Pharmaceuticals SW ammonis test-which uses the salisalate method per the instructions)...it had worked well for him 3 months ago.
I used it to test my SW Tank, which is cycling with a shrimp, and the test got cloudy and slightly colored...not the colored clear water I am accustomed to when testing my FW (with a different Aquarium Pharmaceuticals FW test). It was so cloudy that I could not see through the vial.
Anyone have any ideas? I will try another kit this week..but it makes me nervous that there may be something wrong with the water. pH is fine at 8.2, and I have 0.25 ppm Nitrites and no Nitrates.
Thanks
