I have been driving myself crazy trying to get my quarantine tank ammonia levels below 0.2. I have put my poor clownfish through daily 50% water changes to keep them healthy. For some reason, today it occurred to me to run a base level test on a newly mixed batch of saltwater that I knew could not have any ammonia.
So the tests from left to right are new saltwater, 10 gallon quarantine with fish, 20 gallon quarantine that has been ghost fed but has no fish. These are all the same color, right? I am not imagining that, am I?
These are the same tests against the card, which still looks like 0.2 rather than 0.0 to me. (0.2 is the bottom left square)
So am I actually at 0.0 so I can stop torturing my fish?
