fishless cycling without adding ammonia ..
and you expect some ammonia reading?

[Sam]

took sum water down to work. ph is on 7.4 at the moment and general hardness is 140. i used the ph pen. the sera test kits arnt accurate enough.

I am not familiar with

nitrovec biostarter.

but unless you where to add ammonia, i would not expect a reading.

are you familiar with flukes topic on fishless cycling?

maybe some more info and i can help you a bit better

[Sam]
