Dear all,
I have just set up my new salt water tank with Natural Sea Water. It has been more than a week and the tank should be fully cycled now.
I have done the test daily using API test kit (NH3/NH4) and the result is approximately 0.25ppm.
However, I have also bought a Seachem Amonia Alert and placed in the tank. It has been more than 4 days. It shows as safe zone: less than 0.02ppm. I believe this kit only tests NH3 which is free ammonia (un-ionized ammonia)
My question is: Can I put the fish and coral in the tank? Should I make sure NH3/NH4 are 0ppm or just have to make sure NH3 is 0ppm at all times?
Please help!
With kind regards
