Seachem Ammonia Alert

[Reefster78]

Hi there. Can anyone help me with this spots? How can I understand what color it shows? It was brand new

It can take a while for those to stabilize from what I remember. New tank or a QT setup?

It's QT and it's more than 5 hours in there

I wouldn't say that has been triggered yet but keep an eye on it especially if its a new QT system.

QT is running 2 weeks and this I only received today

When you peeled the square sticker off, you may have damaged the center Sensor part. Touching the center with your fingers can also inhibit the sensors response due to the oil on your hands. You can test the sensor by taking a bottle of Window Cleaner with Ammonia in it, remove the pump style sprayer, and hold the sensor near the mouth of the bottle briefly. The Vapors are enough to get a color change. As soon as the color changes, pull the sensor away. Do not touch the sensor to the bottle, or put Window Cleaner on the Sensor. Also do not use straight Ammonia or Window Cleaner with extra Ammonia. You only need to have the sensor near the mouth of the bottle for a few seconds to get a reaction! Also shake the Sensor dry before doing the test, but don’t touch the sensor with anything.

Seen the same in similar items that use the same technology. you are good. goes away with time/increase flow (do not park in front of powerhead). They take 48 hours to acclimate. been running it a few days you say? when in doubt API.
