It doesn't matter. It should be undetectable. Just wait for the tank to be completely cycled.

You mean the seachem ammonia alert? Don't think you should rely too much on that. IMO, safer to stick to the testkits.

Personally got one, it showed safe on its colour zone. But the ammount of ammonia which my testkit detected was already unsafe(compared it with the water quality booklet which comes with the interpet testkit).

May not be the fault of the Ammonia Alert. Sometimes there might not be any Ammonia/ Nitrite spike during the cycling process. This was the case when i started out too.

But test kits are still more accurate. The Ammonia Alert should act only as a precaution for very extreme ammonia levels.

Hi, i just started on marine aquria. and this is the second week. i did some ammonia test last week and it was 0,2... now i did another test. it's reveal 3,0. it is normal???

can check which brand testkit u use

reason

on tetra (range 0-5), the reading is 3 (3rd day with LR)

whereas on hagen (hope to cut cost :blink: ), range 0-6.1, reading is 0.3

big different

more likely the tetra is correct base on

1) branded

2) have report 0 before adding of LR

3) when testing on FW, hagen showing funny color (browish) but tetra still reporting 0

any advise/comment, which 1 is true?

      The sting of betrayal is a cruel mistress. It can leave you reeling, questioning your judgment, and feeling utterly vulnerable. This is precisely how I felt when I fell victim to a binary trading scam. The promise of lucrative returns, and a comfortable retirement, all those dreams I had meticulously built for decades crumbled under the weight of deceit. I had entrusted my hard-earned savings to a company that promised the moon, only to find myself in a desolate wasteland of broken promises and financial ruin. The company, a viper disguised in a suit of legitimacy, vanished into thin air, leaving me with nothing but shattered dreams and a hefty debt. The betrayal cut deep, a wound that festered with anger and despair. I sought solace in the digital world, hoping to find a path to recovery.
