Ammonia, yesterday i put in WAY more than 5ml in so should I just wait for it too come down?

Thanks, orange shark

Just do a water change to lower it. Start with about 50% and then test. If it's still too high, do another 25%. You don't want it off the chart high because you can't see the progress that it is making. Also,, very high levels can sometimes prevent the process from starting.

bad time but i hardly have any dechlorinater left and my lfs is in a flooded area....

I'm not sure if your area uses chloramine in the water or not but chlorine can be removed by letting the water sit for about 24 hours or by aerating it. If it has chloramine in it, that won't help though.

Not sure I understand. 8 gallon would dechlorinate the Atlantic Ocean.

I believe it means the amount of dechlor available would only be enough for 8g. Just leave it, it'll take it's time but you can water change later on.

I think its around 5ppm but i dont know becuase the crap test kit i got only reads upto 2.5 and ive just ordered a new one on ebay so it should hopefully be here in around 2 days.
