1ppm Ammonia in tap driving up my nitrates?
Trying to figure things out... Found trace of ammonia in tank. Water changed several days ago and was going to change again for high nitrates. Tested tap and found distinct green color. If ammonia is converted to nitrites then nitrates could this be driving up my high nitrates? Lets say I used water with no ammonia there would be nothing to convert to nitrates therefore nitrates would not be so high. Yes?
First 2 vials are my tap, last vial distilled water.
