Hello group, thanks, glad to be part of the group.
I have a question about the ApI freshwater master test kit. Is it a good reliable test kit?
I have followed all the instructions very carefully, but my results fluctuate week by week.
Just a little background, this tank is 30 gallons and a 3 week old set-up. I did do a 50% water change everyday for 2 weeks, then 25% everyday for the 3rd week.
I added plants 3 weeks ago and just added more 3 days ago to fill in some blank spots. I was as careful as I could be not to disturb the substrate.
There are still no fish in the tank.
I dose, 2ml - 1 pump, every day with Tropica Specialized nutrition plant food.
Today my test results are Ammonia .25ppm, PH 7ppm, Nitrite 10 ppm and Nitrate is 20 ppm.
I am still not confident this numbers are within a good range to add fish.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Michael
