reefhusker Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 As mentioned in an earlier posst in a different topic, my biocube 8 is badly overstocked which may be causing what im about to ask. My ammonia is right at .25 and i cant get it to 0. NitrItes are 0 and NitrAtes are at 30 ppm. Why is this? Using API saltwater master test kit. Tank inhabitants Oscillaris clown - 11/2 " Sapphire damsel - 1" Red Banded Goby- 1" Fire Shrimp, snails, hermits, 3 corals Everything appears healthy. Right or Wrong, it seems that by looking at my corals i can somewhat tell how my water is, even though i check it every other day Link to comment
reefone Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 have u double checked ur test against another one? Link to comment
reefhusker Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 I will do it now! Link to comment
reefhusker Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 All i had to test it against was a tetra saltwater kit and it tested out 0. I don't get it, i thought API was suppose to be reputable. Hopefully my other tests are accurate! Link to comment
reefone Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 ive never had a problem with the api tests. check the lot # on the front of the bottle at the top. the last four digits r the manufacture date. Link to comment
