tank troubles

[DylanJkfish]

 Well my hopes of moving my pair soon are gone haha. I set up a 30 gallon with cycled water and a cycled filter about.... 2-3 weeks ago.. everytime i check the water i get these readings

Ph - 6.4
Ammonia - .25ppm
Nitrites - 0ppm
Nitrates - 5 to 10ppm

The ammonia refuses to go away  any suggestions?? I do w/c 2 times a week and i add stuff from the 55 everytime...

Are you using Prime and an API test kit?  If so, the ammonia is a false reading....API does that with Prime.....you're likely good to go.....

Haha well I did not know that... hmm thanks again Jon!!

Looks like they are getting a new home tonight haha

Did you test your water out of the tap? Could be you have ammonia right out of it.

With a .25 ppm ammonia reading, and no nitrites, you get a 'classic' API/Prime reading....and the low nitrates are fine.....cycles done..or at worst on it's last crumbling legs.. ....but checking the tap is an excellent idea, so you know, at least, what you started with in the beginning.
