Sometimes takes 2 or even 3 weeks for that first 4ppm of ammonia to drop to zero!

~~waterdrop~~

Fantastic i have plenty of patients it takes aslong as it takes

Yeah, we've got a ton of patients here at the university hospital too. Is your tank in your patients waiting room?

Indeed, took mine nearly 2 weeks to start dropping. I thought something was up, but the people here re-assured me that this was quite normal. You should start seeing a drop pretty soon.

You could have a look on the mature media donors list for someone living near you, worked for me.

Day 10 updated.

Looks like you decided the ammonia test match was definately 2.0 today.

Incidently, don't know if you've thought about this but I think what one might be seeing at around one week like this is that there are a few of both species showing up. There are a few A-Bacs beginning to process ammonia, so it drops a little and there are a few N-Bacs processing that small amount of nitrite(NO2), so it stays zero. What will happen shortly will be that the A-Bacs will get ahead of the N-Bacs and then some Nitrite that the N-Bacs can't process will start to show up as begin left over.

Aslong as everything looks normal then im happy haha the nitrite colour is trying but is still at 0 but the very light blue is getting darker by the day and im hoping to get my first 0.25 reading in the next day or 2
