pH - 6.0 ( might be lower as the chart lowest is 6 as in yellow colour)
ammonia - 2-3 ( kit should be working as I test my other tank with gex soil)
nitrite - 0ppm
Have release some galaxy last sat, they are swimming well. Dare not release shrimp. I still dun understand why the ammonia still at high and not at 0. Can it be the soil of low ph and high ammonia? Can advise?
Bro, better start another new thread. Seems to me your tank not cycled yet. Since u hot another tank. Wash e filter of your old tank in this new one. It helps to kick start e bacterial growth
