Curing Rock

[fishytim]

I have been curing this rock for almost 3 weeks now.
My Nitrates and Nitrites are both back now at 0, but my Ammonia is in the .25-.5 range...
Is this normal? Will my ammonia eventaully get to 0 as well?
Thanks...
Tim

What kind of test kit? Does the rock smell at all?

Yeah, that might be a bit of a false positive. I would think if you still had a significant ammonia level, you would also see some nitrites. Some test kits can be off, and the colors can be misleading. I used to give myself headaches trying to read the ph tests. Is that purple-green, blue-green, or blue-purple..??? So I got an electronic tester for ph, no more headaches. I wish they had one for all tests...:happyfish
