Api Ammonia Saltwater Testing Is Clear

[REEFFER MADNESS]

WHEN I TESTED FOR AMMONIA IN MY 55 GALLON TANK USING THE API SALTWATER TEST KIT AND CHART THE VIAL IS CLEAR AFTER WAITING FIVE MINUTES AND BEYOND. I HAVE HEARD THAT (0) AMMONIA SHOULD REGISTER AS LIGHT YELLOW ACCORDING TO THE CHART AND OTHERS SAY A CLEAR VIAL IS A SURE SIGN OF (0) ZERO AMMONIA. WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THANK YOU!

How long has the tank been cycling and what's in it? Try getting a double check by take your water in to a LFS and having them test it.

Online all caps is considered yelling, plus it harder to read. Stop yelling it'll be ok.:D

Did you use both chemical drops? I just set my 29g up last night and tested the ammonia just a minute ago and as soon as I put the second chemical drops in it started changing colors.

I just bought my api test kit this morning...

oh my, I did not realize there were two bottles for the ammonia test. oops! This time I used both solutions and my ammonia checked out fine. I helps to read. Duh.
Thank You.
