    My water is very clear, almost crystal clear. According to your conversion chart, my ammonia is reading between .2 and .4 after conversion. Can I add the O&O tomorrow?

    Ok, after patching a leak and finishing out the QT time for the clowns, I added the O&O Wednesday(9/5/12) and then added the 2 O Clowns about an hour later.

    I have a Seachem ammo alert badge in the tank and it was reading the lowest, below 0.02ppm, when I added the clowns. Tonight my test result, using an API Master test kit, are:

    Temp: 78
    SG: 1.027(I'm bringing it down as I type)
    PH: 8.3
    Am:API test says between .25 & .50ppm, ammo alert says below .02pppm
    Trite: 0ppm
    Trate: between 10 & 20ppm


    Does this seem like I'm on the right track? The fish seem fine, very active eat pretty good. Water is crystal clear, and I started running my skimmer about 36 hours after I added the fish and O&O.

    Any suggestions or comments?
