I too would suggest testing your tap water then you know where abouts you are with your nitrAtes...
Good Luck...

True, I have 2.0 ppm Ammonia straight out of my tap.
 
Good start! How about another two tomorrow.
 
Tap Water

I have my tap water sitting out until tomorrow morning and I will post results late morning, because my wife and I are going to a New Year Party tonight.
I appreciate the help you guys offer.
I want to wish everybody good health and prosperity in 2007.

Happy New Year,

Jim
 
Tomorrow

Thanks All,

Tap Water

Hey guys,

Here is my tap water chemistry.

Ammonia 0.25
Nitrides 0.3
Nitrates 10 ppm
PH 8.0.

I'm am getting ready to do my second water change. The first change resulted in the same values as yesterday, except my water is much clearer. I love it

Everything's too high. Nitrates, Nitrites, and Ammonia should be 0 and the pH should be around 7.
