Hello all.
Iām doing a fish-in cycle rn with seachem prime on my new 65 gallon tank. Everything going great so far, fish very happy, tank looks beautiful, very happy. Well I decided to test my tap water with my API freshwater āmaster test kitā today and itās showing my tap water at ~.75 ppm on ammonia. Is it possible itās actually catching ammonia (or ammonium) in my tap water? Iāve heard these test kits in particular may not be the most accurate? The only other thing I can think of is maybe some of the tank water droplets are In The test tubes when Iām testing? But if that were the case wouldnāt expect it to test so high... Which do you think is more likely the scenario here? I plan on getting a better test kit soon. But meanwhile, Iād appreciate some input
