Hi HB,
The water is 100% new when i started out cultivating green water. My tap water has 0.01ppm ammonia and 0ppm nitrite. This is the 2nd time im trying green water. Both register the same results. It took abt 10 days for the water to become green. And that is also the time when nitrite is very high. Unfortunately, i read from previous post that members here did not measure nitrite, only measure ammonia. Its true that at 10 days, when water became green, ammonia is starting to become close to 0. But surprisingly, nitrite peaks under the assumption that BB did not manage to cultivate. Looks like the assumpton that BB didnt exist in green water cannot hold. Maybe i sh do the test again a month ot two later, hoping the water changes and green water will eventually cause the BB to die off. |
