Thank you very much ! So is this a good Sing or a Bad one ?
the lower the ammonia the better. do you see nitrite? nitrate? a week is very short. if you are adding ammonia or food or have a fish these will produce a reading of ammonia. then the bacteria that you put in will eat that ammonia. so if you have not seen an ammonia increase the lack of much ammonia is not necessarily a good thing. look up the ammonia cycle and read up on it for details. are you tracking your results? during my first weeks i checked the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate every two days so i could see the spikes in the readings.
 
nvm ö
