Hi guys, today I checked where 300g reached. I checked Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate and Ph…. I think I have to buy new test kits. According to result everything is under control.

As usual i used Nutrafin test kits to check Ammonia……







Can you people help me to find out what color is this? It's look to to me 0

Nitrite

Guys! help me to find out the colors? what is the reading? I am , may be test kits are old enough......






According to test No2 is 0 ppm , please help????




Nitrate

I think cycle is in last stage. Nitrate "No3" is little high . I am sure this is not 0 mg/l, it looks to me between 10ppm to 25ppm.

What you guys says, should i make little water change, like 10%.....????








I think we moved stuff on 16th friday.

It means tank took only 10days to reach last stage of cycle.

Ph

Ph is 8.3 to me.. . . . . . ... What you guys say......????



I think i will stick on Randy two part Recipe # 2........

    Your nitrite is 0. That's what you wanted. Looks just like the one I tested recently:



    Ammonia - that's a tough call with the strange color. Can you test some newly mixed saltwater or some natural sea water if that is what you use? Can you test some tap water as well? Try to find out if you can get the normal colors with water that is not in your aquarium. I had some strange results with the water from the leather holding vat, so I tested my reef tank water to get one that looked correct (to verify my kit was good):



    Nitrate is up a bit, but it is newly set up. Again, test the new water for nitrate to make sure you aren't adding more with each water change.

    pH test kits - I never use them, I prefer to read a digital meter or controller.

    I agree with Marc on the pH, those are tough to read. I haven't bought a digital meter yet since I've learned that if my Calcium and Alkalinity are correct, the pH will be also. But I'm not running a calcium reactor or anything else that could severely alter it.
