The Puffer Forum

On the freshwater chart it shows .25 ppm and on the saltwater chart it's at zero. Which chart should i rely on?

What's the SG?

1.006....

Looks good

when doing a water change, should i increase the sg by .002 even if i'm showing a bit of nitrite? (.25)

I remember there was a thread started on this forum that was about how to read the ammonia level with low-end brackish water. I think the verdict was that the colour for zero amm. will be closest to the FW chart, but will be slightly muddied by a slight green-brown tinge as a result of salt content. It really does make it difficult to have full confidence when taking a reading.
But based on your image, I'd agree that yours does appear to be undetectable.

well i got 0 ammo and .25 nitrite. Pretty quick cycle. Did a 20% wc just to help a bit.(matched the sg in the tank) I've only fed him once since i got him(last thursday).

If you have .25 nitrite then your cycle is incomplete... a completed cycled should read 0 amm. and 0 nitrite, + some nitrate. Should have waited for the cycle to be completed before introducing the puffer.
Keep up on large daily water changes so that nitrite doesn't harm the puff.
