Hello all,
My tank has been cycling for the past month.I have two ammonia Red Sea test kits, one is reading .2 the other is reading 0. Based on my nitrite being 0 and nitrate at 2-3 which ammonia reading is more likely to be true? Or do the other two have no direct correlation to ammonia? Chemistry wasn’t my best subject.

Did your nitrite go up and then drop to 0? If so, it's likely that your ammonia is also 0.
