Morning all,
Day 27 approx. 12hrs after previous test & dosing re-tested the pH with low range kit, as per advice from Big Bad Barry - thank you. Test showed a much darker colour Blue than the 7.6 reading on the chart, so I'm quite confident that the pH is holding up.
Day 28 test results as follows, 24hrs after previous tests & dosing with 4ppm of Ammonia:
Tank Temperature = 28.1C
pH 8.0 - Stable at that level now for 5 days.
Ammonia 0ppm - Added enough to take level back upto 4ppm.
Nitrites 0ppm - It has taken approx. 48hrs for them to drop back to zero from the initial 0ppm.
Nitrates 80ppm - Definite match against the chart, I was kind of expecting them to go upto the 160ppm mark?
Nitrites only took 2days to drop back to zero - yipee
Have a good day everyone.
