Hey folks,

Just curious, since some dummy didn't do his research before buying :rolleyes: and is now questioning test kit results...

How accurate are red sea test kits - specifically the NH3/4, NO2, NO3 tests?

I bought one of the "master test kits" monday - And I'm trying to wrap my brain around the constant 0.25 NH3, 0.05 NO2 readings. They don't seem to change, with time or w/c's (though I did learn tonight that apparently edmonton tap water uses chloramines - might explain the NH3/4 readings). NO3s however have been on the increase. The tank is a 2.5g nano - thus daily accumulation is relatively noticeable.

Just debating whether I can safely add that green clown goby I spied over at AI last week.
