I eventually found that report, thanks for the instructions. The two numbers are 35.75 and dh was 2. I only switch the filter off when I'm cleaning the tank and have never used any kind of cleaning product in them. I hoover the gravel in the barb/danio tank. I wipe the glass at the front to...

I can't find the exact parameters for this area other than soft water?

I looked into the seachem prime site as TwoTankAmin said and it says it can give false amonia readings. I would then think that maybe they have been cycled but why would it show nitrite and nitrate?
