this was good advice.I spoke with the owner of the LFS (who is very knowledgeable), who mentioned ammonia burn and suggested we cycle with Turbostart 900.
But, on Sunday ammonia was 0.34 and we did a 20 gallon water change. Ammonia was 0.26 after that and 0.27 yesterday morning.
The answer is no. Hanna usually reads 0.1-0.2 on totally mature, zero ammonia tanks. Same with API, this slight flush of green that people often report as 0.25 on API should be considered zero.Questions: are we pulling out live bacteria when we do water changes? Should 0.30 ppm TAN and NH3 0.01 concern us.
agreed with this.It is probably zero then
@taricha thank you so much, that is very helpful. We did end up leaving it alone as after feeding last night it was still 0 31. It's higher then I like, but not going up. Monitoring again today in the hopes it will go down. The API dus show some green; i have a hard time reading it but the beau had the marvellous idea of doing a zero sample and the it was easy to see. The Salifert though was between 0.15 and 0 5, not hugely helpful. Appreciate everyone's help.this was good advice.
