Since there isn't realy anything you can do about mmonia in your tap water, I would agree with Miss Wiggle in that you need to use a dechlorinator like Prime that detoxifies ammonia (dechlorinates and de-toxifies all at one) or the Ammo-Lock that does the same (but you still need a dechlorinator). It will make the ammonia harmless until your system can process it.

Are you referring to API Ammo Lock, RDD? If so, it actually is a dechlorinator which just happens to detoxify ammonia, just like Prime.

I have never used it and didn't know it was a dechlor too.

I didn't know either until a short while ago. I think most people think of it just as an ammonia detoxifier, probably due to the name. You live and learn, eh?
