| Why wouldn't you have any ammonia? You will if you're still cycling the tank. It actually looks fine for the beginning of a cycle...give it a few more weeks. What are the rest of your parameters? |

| Darksun I wouldnt use tap water go with RO or DI water you can buy both at the store...Water change's will lower AMO do them weekly 5gallon's.....How long has your tank been up... Let it run 6-8 week's.Your #'s will be up and down the first 6 week's anyway..Patience is #1 in salt water my friend...
