Just started my system cycling on November 11th. I am using Clear Ammonia. When I started the system I accidentally added too much ammonia bring the level to 8 ppm. I have not added any ammonia since then. My last 3 readings have had an odd color to them, a deep aquamarine, blueish tint, not on the master aquarium test sheet for ammonia. All my prior readings were the proper color for 8.0 ppm. I have add seaweed solution just to help the plants in the grow bed. (mostly lettuce.) Anyone have any clue as to this type of result?
ammonia above an 8 can dramatically slow your cycling process. At this point your best bet is a large 30% + water change to get that down to a workable level.
