Ok so I’m 5 days into my cycle & I hadn’t checked my parameters any until last night which read
.25 ammonia
0 nitrite
5 nitrate
When I read them I was convinced that the readings were wrong being that my test kit is about 3 years old, so today I went out & got a new test kit & i got the exact same parameters.. so I’m confused.
I’m cycling with about 70% live rock & the other 30 % “dead” live rock, shouldn’t I see a higher reading than .25 on day 5? Also, where are my nitrites if I have nitrates? Im confused lol..
