I'm using a (free) Android app called Aquarium Note for issues like this. It compares the color of the vial with two points of your reading chart.

Makes my life definitely a lot easier :)

Cheers

I dosed my tank to 2-3ppm of ammonia and it cycled it all the way through in about a week. I waited another 5 days and put two clowns in there which was Thursday. I put a little pinch of food in there (Spirulina flake) to try and get them to eat and they didn't so I siphoned as much out as I could. Tested the tank and it was def at 0. Tried feeding frozen mysis yesterday and they picked at it a little bit which was good but some went to the bottom. I tested tank yeaterday evening and this was my ammonia reading and 0 nitrite. Tested again this morning and same. So I hope that it catches up soon and takes it down to 0. Thinking about grabbing some Fritz turbostart 900 on the way home and dumping it in.
