Hello All,
I just set up my quarantine tank for my first fish that are coming in tomorrow. Nothing has been in the tank ever except for some PVC pipe, the hang on the back filter (which uses carbon), a brand new heater, and obviously the saltwater (using my RODI filter + Instant Ocean salt). I am getting ..05 ppm readings of ammonia from a Seachem ammonia monitor and ~.25-.5 ppm as the API Saltwater Ammonia test kit. Any ideas where the ammonia could be coming from? I just ordered a detoxifier since it seems like I am getting the same ammonia reading from the spare saltwater I made to perform water changes as well.
