Hello, Well here is what is going on. My last three water tests with my liquid test kit, have came back nearly unmeasurable. nitrate 0, nitrite 0, ammonia 0, ph 8.2. So one would think i'm cycled right? Well, thats is not the case, as i took some water to the lfs today his readings differed than mine. ammonia0, nitrite0, nitrate between 0 &.003ppm. ph@7.8 ...that indicates i'm close to cycled with low ph right? Well, here is the problem. I just added a clean up crew 2 days ago(to clean brown alge bloom) 10 red leg, 10 blue leg hermits, 1 coral banded shrimp,1 serpent star. So, if my tank was not completely cycled i will have a hard time now with the added waste(ammomia) from the clean up crew. What should i do?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BTW, I added some ph buffer today for the low ph problem.-----could my last 3 test readings be wrong? or, do you think the 2 different tests gave 2 different readings?
