so earlier this week i noticed a little higher ammonia due to over feeding
lets say its .25 and nitrites are at 0. I have never seen my nitrites higher than 0, i must choose odd times to do my testing. Everyday I test this week i have .25 ammonia and 20-60 ppm of nitrate, very hard to read nitrate. I have done 3 water changes and it still reads the same? im either thinking that the ammonia is 0 and i am color blind, or its right and something is wrong? If i have ammonia, and nitrates, doesnt that mean nitrites has to also go higher than 0? why hasnt my frequent water changes brought the nitrates to 0 yet. Im doing another water change today, always at least 3 gallons
