CRS Fan Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'm still getting zero readings on nitrate, and nitrite with my API reagents tests. I'm almost 4 weeks into my nano build. I still get ammonia readings off and on though. I have been doing large w/c every couple or three days though. I also have been dosing Stability almost daily. My fish seem happy and I believe only 2 casualties (my MIA male Endlers). JM2C. Stuart Tankful in Vancouver! DiamondShrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 days left on my cycle and my ammonia reading went from .25ppm to 1ppm, nitrite and nitrate are reading 0. Did you find any solution to this. I read else where to just do a wc instead if your getting either one of the three in a high reading.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Im thinking my test kit is defunct now...dated from 2011. My tank has been cycled for months with shrimps living in it and now I show 0 nitrates???? Maybe the plants are sucking it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
