i purchased the saltwater master kit api about a month ago. I've been doing tests every 3 days while cycling my tank. It's been over a month now, but the last time i did the test,
ammonia-0
nitrite- 5.0 ppm
nitrate- 2.0 ppm
pH- 8.2
But today i tested and the results came as
ammonia-0
nitrite-5.0
nitrate-0
pH-8.2
Now my question is, shouldn't the nitrite be going down and nitrate be going up during the cycle process? Could it be because the test kits aren't accurate? Anyone else have issues with this test kit?
