Fish Fanatic
I tested my water in my 32 Gallon Tank today around noon and it read like this:
I went to my lfs and got some Top Fin Ammonia Remover and added 5 mL for every 10 gallons as the instructions told me to do to get rid of ammonia. I also got pH Correct Fizz Tabs and added 1 tab for every 10 gallons.
I retested the pH and ammonia two hours later and they read like this.
The pH corrected. The ammonia didn't. I know this can cause major stress and even some deaths in fish. I haven't had any deaths yet. How can I prevent that and lower my ammonia?!
- Ammonia: 8.0 ppm
- Nitrate: 5 ppm
- Nitrite: 0 ppm
- pH: 7.6
