I have completed an experiment based on the reduction of ammonia in biofloc. There are three treatments and a control. Treatment 1 = 4mg/L of ammonia, Treatment 2 = 8mg/L, Treatment 3 = 12mg/L.
I measured the ammonia content in beakers containing two bioflocs (Seed and Commercial), and monitored the decline of ammonia, as the nitrifying bacteria within turned it to nitrate. I took a water sample on Tuesday when the experiment began, and one every 24 hours (Excluding the weekend) until the following Monday as shown in the image attached.
I want to compare the decrease in ammonia of all treatments for each biofloc in order to see which biofloc is the most efficient when it comes to nitrification. What statistical test could I do to measure the statistical differences?
I suggest to you to manage your data as a factorial arrangement with RCBD design, then analyse and compare means of the 4 treatments, the Times, and their interactions by using lsd. Wish you luck.
