Green Water: Not Telling
Country: Singapore



Hi,

My first post smile.gif and like to seek some advice from u ppl. I hv started using green water 3 weeks ago. The green water will usually become deep green within 3-4 days time. I read from previous post that green water will absorb ammonia and there is no other by-products e.g: nitrite and nitrate. However, i do notice there is some slight presence of ammonia (abt 0.1ppm) and quite high nitrite value (abt 0.5ppm) on the 3rd day. The green water sh hv matured by now. Im using a 150W MH onto a 40L Toyogo tub with three 1.5 inch (body length) goldfish inside.

Did anyone here actually measure nitrite value in yr green water? I know most ppl here make the assumption there is little or no BB and hence zero or low nitrite.
