Im using amquel to condition my water. I was using a more generic conditioner, but after some readings, amquel detoxifies ammonia in the tap, where other conditioners may not. If chloramines are in the water, some conditioners dechlorinates, hwoever, it releases the bond and does not nuetralie the ammonia that is released.
So I started to use amquel.
Amquel is a superior product, and false readings are commong, but only when you dont use the correct test kit with it. Only salicylate-based test kits should be used with amquel, otherwise you will indeed get false readings.
Temp is at around 83.
im using two power filters, marineland 200. they have the filter floss along with the activated carbon, thats all.
i added powerheard a week ago.
ammonia is still 8ppm, nitrites 0, and nitrates i dont test normally.
