How can I test for ammonia in my brackish tank?
My salinity is 1.010 and on an API test, the saltwater card indicates it's fine but on the freshwater card, it's slightly green. Do you know what I mean? There are two cards Saltwater and Freshwater. Brackish water is made up of both.

from what my LFS said when i was thinking of going bw that i ad to test with the salt water test kit cause it would not read right with the FW test kit but i am not sure about that i am sure some one with exp will be here to help soon!

I dont think there is any difference b/n s/w and f/w NH3 testkit (Salicylate Methos: 2 reagents bottles) at least with API test kit. On the other hand, API Nessler REagent (1 bottle of reagent) is only good for F/W. I never found the difference when used API 2 reagents S/W NH3 test kit on f/w and vice versa.
