Hi All,
I think my cycle has now completed, its taken around 8 weeks, I think its done because when I now add Ammonia, 2 - 3 ppm this will be eaten by the filters in approx 12 hours.
The only Issue I currently have is my Nitrates, my tank is around 700 litres, I have now changed 1650 litres over a 2 week period.
On my Api master test kit its reading around 160ppm, so I decided to get a seperate kit, a king british one, this is reading 25 to 50 mg/l.
Can anyone advise on this, I am woundering if my Api test kit is faulty, mainly the Nitrates section, I currently use Prime as my water treatment.
Any views or help on this would be thanked.
