API NH3 returned WHITE, and extra questions.

sg: 1.029
ph: 8.3-8.4
nitrite: 0-5ppm
nitrate: 0ppm
ammonia: white

not even on the scales. this is a brand new test kit via marine depot. i'll have to verify the expiration date but i would hope it's not a year old already.

today monitored my temps. it got as high as 82.2
i know as the day progresses the ocean temps should rise as well. so it went from 77.4 - 82.2

is that fluctuation way too high? I'm using a 150w coralife MH. that's why it increases so high.

no chiller and no plans to switch over anytime soon. earliest next summer when temps start to rise again.
 
btw i'll have to retest but i'll do it in the A.M.

currently, my tank is empty of livestock. i just added a raw shrimp to put some type of kick start if that was necessary.
 
i'll have to adjust my fans to try to keep the temps down.

thanks rafal. looking at what i want and shipping. it won't be ideal for me. i only want/need snails.
