Ammonia Reading

[black jack1]

I have the "Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Freshwater Master Test Kit" which probably most of you do too. When it comes to testing ammonia the water always is clear/colourless. It says that 0 ammonia = yellow colour and then it goes on to a dark green the more ammonia you have. But mine is always clear no matter what. Does anyone else get the same reading?

I have this kit.

are you using both ammonia test solutions? 8 from each, a good shake and wait minimum 5 mins?

if you are doing it correctly, maybe the kit is duff?

Yeh, Ive tried both the bottles and done the whole shake and wait thing. Maybe it is screwed, I don't think i'll risk it, I'll get ammonia tester that works. Thanks
