So, did all my WC today, same procedure as always, for years. I have one 40B brackish at 1.01sg at 69 degrees. At some point this morning I noticed the only fish in the tank breathing heavily. I thought even last night he wasn't 100% and wasn't interested in food, but he usually only eats...

I'm setting up another dirted 10 gallon because I love dirted tanks and how the plants grow. I will post pics of my 55 gallon dirted tank which has a lot of growth in the month that it's been running, my question to you guys is what level of ammonia is considered high?

Hi, I am having some problems with a newly established tank. In a nutshell, I am having an ammonia spike with no changes in nitrates and nitrites. Hopefully someone can provide some advice. Here's the history: 30 gallon tank was set up 8 weeks ago. Put in a specific african cichlid substrate...

I've got a 36 gallon cichlid tank. It's been cycled and has some cichlids in it now. The ammonia level was high according to out LFS and we have finally gotten it under control I believe. During this process we have been using ammonia strips. Ive not found them very easy to read with the whole...

I have a 200g malawi mix peacocks and haps, my tank has been cycled for a while now, but I can't seem to get the ammonia below .25ppm, the nitrite is 0ppm, nitrate somewhat higher, but mostly from the well water having high nitrates. Any ideas on why i can't get ammonia to 0 ppm, I do regular...

I am detecting ammonia in tap water. Around .5ppm!!! :o What the heck? I heard something about false positive, but anyone else seeing this?

I recently came into a bunch of pothos. I decided to test my water for the first time in a year to gauge the effectiveness of the pothos. I noticed every tank had .25 ammonia. My kit was 3 years old so I went out and got a new one. Same results .25 on every tank; so, I tested the tap water -...

Hi guys I have an ammonia problem because of too many fish. I am working on get rid of some, but until then what is the best way to keep the ammonia low?? I know Water changes will, but how often should I? I have a 29 gal. tank. what else can i do?? Thanks for the help

i had a previous problem in the tank where all my cichlids died. I called and a cichlid keeper told me to drain the tank and refill with water. I originally thought that it was an infection, but I now know that it was probably an ammonia issue. I began a new cycle about 2 weeks ago. I posted...
