I just started used prime water conditioner 2 days ago from another brand aqual plus, my ammonia reading was o,nitritis o and nitritats 1-2 before and now the the ammonia reading is around 0.2 to 0.5 which could deadly to my fish as my ph is 8.1.
I checked the water in the storage tank were I add the prime to and the ammonia level was the same as in my aquarium water ,when I checked the tap water for ammonia it was 0.
I saw on a webb site that some ammonia kits that use a nessler formula will get incorrect readings on the ammonia in the higher number, the kit I am using is a nutrafin .
Is this correct ?
Please help
Thanks

P.S. My fish seem to be doing fine ,swimming ,eating and come to the front of the tank at feeding time.
