Hi,
I have a question about using pure ammonia for a cycle. I know you are supposed to start the cycle by adding enough ammonia until you can read 5ppm on your water test kit...and you keep adding...
You could test for ammonia after three days of partial water changes. If it's not zero, you could do some more daily, partial water changes, check ammonia again, etc., until it's all gone. I...
Hello,
I am currently in the process of cycling my aquarium using 10% ammonia. I am at 5ppm for the ammonia, no nitrites and no nitrates. Is it safe to add plants to the aquarium with such high amm...
How did you get rid of the ammonia in the first place? If you used a chemical fix, you could still have ammonia and nitrite because the aquarium has not completed its nitrogen cycle. On the other hand...
The ammo lock is probably the reason why you are getting high ammonia readings. The ammonia is still present but not in a toxic form i think. Do you know about the nitrogen cycle? If you did the fi...
Hi John!
Actually, they are a bad idea, unless you're facing a critical situation where your ammonia has sky rocketed. Zeolites do remove ammonia, but if you remove the ammonia, your biofilte...
...one has the same.
I have a 40g tank, 2 small fan tails, 1 black moor, 2 lionheads, and 1 common.
The ammonia is extremely high and dangerous for the fish. I've put ammo lock in the tank per...

... can reach high levels that can potentially cause the death of fish. While nitrate is much less toxic than ammonia or nitrite, levels over 30 ppm of nitrate can inhibit growth, impair the immune syste...
We have a 75 gal tropical aquarium. It's been set up for about a year. About 3 weeks ago our ammonia spiked up to stratospheric levels-the test tube reaches 8ppm in less than a minute. We'...
...h 5-15 power filters. My fish is alittle gasping for air but not much like he was. i think it has too much ammonia in tank. Where can i fine hornwart at?? wal-mart or pet supermarket be better?? It is...
Welcome to our forum.
Like Vashe said, you can sometimes get false ammonia readings, especially if you have used water treatments that are supposed to "remove" the ammonia. Do the fish ap...
...come! From what you have written my first guess is that your tank has not fully cycled. If you are getting ammonia reading then there is not enough bacteria to handle the ammonia your fish are produci...
Any time your ammonia (or nitrite) goes over .5, do a 50-70% water change. Very little good bacteria live in the water, so doing water changes as often as you need to will not harm anything. You nee...
... think much about the nitrogen cycle and beneficial bacteria. In a new aquarium, it is not unusual to have ammonia and nitrite. That's because the nitrogen cycle is not complete. Since the cycle ...
...not fully cycled and the water is quite cloudy..but it is a white sort of cloudiness could this be like an ammonia spike?...
Which water parameter is at 3.0? If it's ammonia or nitrite, a partial water change is overdue. Does the aquarium have a filter or air stone, and what size is it?
API sells a couple of ammonia test kits that use reagents. You fill a glass tube to the specified level with aquarium water, add a certain number of reagent drops, shake it up, and wait five minutes. ...
... are very effective predators, so they may have gone after the snails.
It's good that you got the ammonia back to zero, but you may want to investigate the cause of the ammonia and check for ...
In both of the new tanks, I measured ammonia almost every day for several weeks. Just to be sure of the results I used two different test kits; neither detected a measurable ammount of ammonia. Both a...
Ok, probably ammonia, it doesn't take long for that to happen. Use a capful of that prime, and stir it in the tank. It might be too late for that one though. Once they have ammonia poisoning, ...
...e it 4-5 days. Thats about how long it took my others to die. While doing that I am also trying to get my ammonia level down. Did a 1/3 water change Tuesday, 1/5th yesterday and will do 1/5th's...
The long answer is in your other posting. If you have any ammonia, it's too much. Partial water changes (20 percent or so) will help. After six weeks the aquarium should have finished its nitroge...
...(check valve) to prevent a back syphon in the event of a power outage. The aquarium water should have zero ammonia and nitrite. To my knowledge, filters will not remove those two toxins. It takes colo...
...sses. It sounds like you are doing things correctly. Have you had a chance to check your water parameters? Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Temperature? What are you feeding them? How many are in what size ...
