Hey all,
I have a 20g loaded with LS and LR. I got it going two weeks ago.
I was testing it with strips for the first week, the kit didn't include ammonia, but nitrates and nitrites showed at 0. I tested every day during this time.
I got an API saltwater master liquid testing kit at the end of that week, tested, and nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia all tested 0.
Since it'd been almost a week since I tested last, I tested it today and I got the saltwater master kit, and nitrates,, nitrites, and ammonia STILL test at 0.
What gives? What should I do? Is it possible that the entire cycle happened between my tests?
My pH and everything else are all normal. The only thing I've noticed is today (and I only noticed today) there was what appeared to be algae growing on the side of the tank. White stringy looking stuff. Any significance to that?
