I’ve had my 33gal tank running for over 3 months, currently stocked with 3 fish. Probably 15lbs of caribsea liferock, caribsea live sand, and I added a 100gal bottle of Fritz turbo start for the cycle. I feed New Life pellets every day. The last two weeks I’ve tested my tank with the API master kit and keep coming up with 0.25 ammonia, but 0 nitrite and nitrate.
Does that mean I need more bacteria? Is that common after 3 months? The test kit expires in 2026, could the test be inaccurate?
