titch 104 Posted October 31, 2017 Test results 24hrs after dosing ammonia 👍🏼 Have dosed ammonia again to 0.5 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titch 104 Posted November 1, 2017 Tonight’s results - 24hrs after dosing. I wasn’t able to test this morning (after 12hrs) I’m afraid. Should I dose to 0.5 again? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay so lets do it again no WC Shall I just keep re-dosing to 0.5 each night (assuming zeros for ammonia & nitrite that is) and report in? What am I waiting to see/happen? Is it a case of redosing for a week to ensure ammonia & nitrite disappear consistently? 14 hours ago, fantailfan1 said: So close!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cause a cycled tank should be able to consume 1.0 of ammonia in 24 hours So we are so close 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should I continue to dose at 0.5 for now though? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titch 104 Posted November 2, 2017 5 minutes ago, koko said: We are at the .5 mark. Not sure I'm understanding properly. Do you mean you're reading my ammonia test result as 0.5ppm after 24hrs or that at the minute we should continue to dose to 0.5? Only checking as, I know the image shows ammonia slightly green (but in reality, I read it as far more yellow and 0.0), but I wouldn't have said it was up at 0.5. Just want to check we're on the same page. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
