ty water drop any one ever used something called nitra-zorb it is supposed to help clean out ammonia nitrites and nitrates out of your tank. if so was it worth while and would you recommend it for some one fighting ammonia

Thanks for all the impute every one is providing it has been great to learn that i am not the only one that has had this trouble. and it gives me hope that i can fix it.

tez what i had learned from water drop is that when you are doing the test you hold it right up against the white and make sure you are in good light from there you just make sure you keep doing the test the same way each time. with that you will be keeping yourself consistant.

to be honest with you tez i am not sure what i will do. from my understanding of water drops comments is that the ammonia level in my tank is not the best but its not the end of the world so if i can atleast hold it that low. that is my best tactic but im still going to continue fighting it...

I plan on doing another water change tonight. I will take your advice and test the water in my bucket before i put it in after i have dechorinated it. i guess i will see what happens
