Ok I am cleaning and working on my 10 gallon tank, i changed the filter today as it needed to be replaced. I have done two water changes within two days to clean the gravel. The gravel is now clean but i am still getting false readings on tests.
I had my fish in here before moving to bigger tank. All of my tetras got white spots which i thought was ich... i treated the tank for ich and body fungus... followed directions and did water change and all that. But now ever since when i test the water my ammonia is coming out blue which is higher than the test shows... it is giving false or inaccurate readings. I have done everything short of empty tank scrub and set up. There are two fish in there so i know the levels cannot be that toxic as they would not survive in those conditions.
When i test for nitrites it still shows 0ppm but the tank has had fish and set up since september. How can i fix this false readings so i can accurately test my water.
I used jungle fizz tabs to cure the diseases... I will not use them anymore, i am moving to metafix if needed as i have heard nothing but good reviews from people on it.
