yeah.... actually my ammonia is probably realy close to if not 0. because i just brought home the api master test kit and it was yellow. meaning 0. but the cheap strip kit i had said i had a little in there. so then do you think its alright?

i feel you man.. im up here in san antonio... if there is anything i can do to help let me know.

ooo i see... thanks for the advice! i commonly see them behind or under my driftwood. i think maybe that would be the place of they were pairing off. i have another question.... how would i know if my tank is fully cycled? because from what ive read you would first see a spike in ammonia...
