Must've been a pretty cheap buy at $10 off!

Still $20.00 I have done another test this time with just ammoina, and it showed .25 at most.(More likely 0)

PPM stands for parts per million- in essence, 1 (unit) solute per 999,999 (units) solvent. Two tablespoons of ammonia sends my 25g tank up to 4 PPM. I use Sea Mist Ammonia which I found at Wal-Mart in the cleaning supplies section. Hope this helps.

So I guess my test kit is dead.

Looks that way, but before you toss it, bring a sample to your lfs for testing, it's always good to get a second opinion.

I have returned that kit and bought the test strips.

 

[happychem]

and? what do the test strips show?

 

[Kasakato]

5 ppm! of ammoina
and 0 of everything else

Excellent, looks like you've got it under control now. That's about what you would expect in the first couple days.
