Hi everyone! first time setting up a saltwater tank so I'm starting the cycle. I'm confused about the ammonia reading though. After 5 minutes, it's looking a lot more blue than green. Could this mean I overdosed the tank with ammonia chloride? I was very careful and only added an extremely small dose.

This test was about 4-5 min in after adding the chemicals.

After about 10 minutes it's looking exactly like the nitrite colour at 0ppm. (but I know you're not supposed to look after 5 minutes)
