It looks like 1 to me. To be on the safe side just do a 50% water change so u don't stall ur cycle. Haha
MattJ said:From the chart, most likely 5 - but depends what light im in!
eco23 said:I'd do a big pwc...65-75%. Get the no2 low enough so you can tell what it is and be able to monitor it. It will also restore buffers and nutrients to the water to help finish off your cycle. Things look good.
Hubert90 said:O ya! Someone is here! Haha what do u reckon it reads?
eco23 said:It reads high, lol. If you can't tell... thats when to knock out the pwc. From what I see, I'd agree it's well over 5, maybe up to 8-10. Hard to tell from pics though...it's hard enough to tell in person with the API kits, haha.
Hubert90 said:O wow my guess of 1 is way off. I always tend to have trouble with nitrate, can't decide between 10-20!
MattJ said:I'll do a smaller water change ... redose ammo and test again in 24 hrs or so?
Hubert90 said:Affirm! And eco!! U seem to know ur stuff!! Admire ya!!
eco23 said:Thanks! Apparently reading levels from pics of API test results is not one of my specialties, lol.
Hubert90 said:Trust me! I spend ages trying to determine what my reading is. I even go around asking my mom dad Sis and bro!! Haha
MattJ said:Right, PWC complete ...
Went for approx 50% - dosed back up to 4ppm
How long would you wait before retesting nitrites?
Fluval 2 plus..
Saying that, I have to pop out for a couple of hours so will just re-test when I get in and update you later!
Fingers crossed we are somewhere in the right direction!
Thanks for the help so far... !
