Hi folks!
Here are my API results (I know, U know, but that's what I have) High PH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate.
Ammonia concerns me a bit, but from what others say, API gives false reading on ammonia. Nitites were at 2.0 PPM (maybe 5.0...the colors on the card are so close!) the day before yesterday, but now it looks like 0. Nitrates look like 20 PPM. Should I wait a little longer, or no?
Also, rather than do a 50% water change to reduce the Nitrates, is there another way. I read in another thread that Micro-Lift Special Blend removes Nitrates. I hate to dump 50 gallons of relatively good ('cept for the Nitrates) down the drain.
