High help! High NH4

[NikkiNoo]

Hi, I have high NH4. How do I resolve this please?

It was the same number yesterday and I did a partial water change and it went down to 15.10 and today it’s gone back up to 20.75.

Check your units. You are fine.

So that isn’t too high?

0.02ppm is well below anything to worry about. That number is pretty typical of natural seawater. If anything I would dry to bring the pH up a hair.

Yeah, my ph has never gone above 8.1 yet. fluxuates between what is now and that.

It’s not low enough that I would personally worry about it if it’s staying over 7.8 over night.

Seneye measures NH3 and then calculates NH4 from that, along with pH, temperature, salinity (maybe). Your readings look ok. You got a pic of the tank?

20 ppb is 0.02 ppm - which is minimal and nothing to worry about. Your NH3-N is in a safe range

this is also within noise of the device.
Like others have said, interpret this as low/zero and enjoy your tank.

Thanks. Sorry, I’m a newbie. So I missed that. Much appreciated :)

My ph has risen to 8.07 today.
