I have a 55 gal,it has been cycling 4 weeks,i am running an aqua-tech 30-60,with a 330gph flow.My brother who has a 135 gal,was running 2 emperor 400's in his and he bought a new 400,so he brought me his old one to see if it will help with the cycling.My question is i have them both set on the...

Thanks I'll head there after the race. Paul

Btw...started using Amquel + last night...not sure if its a good idea or not. Thanks again, Paul

I'm back with my still high ammonia readings.I have 2 ten gal,1 55 gal,readings on my oldest 10 gal as of last night: ammonia 4.0,nitrites 1.5,nitrates .25Tank is 4 weeks old,can't understand why still the high ammonia.The other 10 gal readings are: 4.0 ppm ammonia,.25 nitrites...only a trace of...

I used ammo-loc....was told it would give a false reading,so i stopped.If ammonia levels are that high,I would expect that all of my fish would have perished by now.....but they all seem healthy...I"m sooooooooooooooo confused!

I was told it will throw of my ammonia readings.With ammonia this high....I would think that I would be losing fish daily,but I am not.Maybe I just dont want to believe the test.

LOL this started with 1 10 gal.then three days later it was 2 10 gal....then 2 weeks after that it was a 55 gal.Its been 2 weeks since i got the 55 gal up and running..wife is starting to worry Ill go get a 125 gal now :)I told her not to worry.I am working on a place to put it...

Thank you...wasnt sure if I was crazy for thinking that.The other thing I thought is I just started out with such a high bio load of fish that I havent given the nitrites near enough time to develop.I am doing 50% water changes daily on both tanks.My 55 gal seems to be doing ok...its ammonia is...

Thank you tkos and jsoong...I know I made some Serious mistakes on the 2 ten gal.....just trying to do all i can an using what I have learned to not make the same mistakes on my 55 gal.All the advice is helpful.Ill start doing water changes asap.thanks again, Paul

Ok I know this is gonna sound like a really stupid question,but I have a high ammonia tank and cant figure out why.One tank a ten gal has been running 3 weeks and had an ich problem which is now cured.I did use ammo-loc at first but havent in 2 weeks.Its ammonia is 8.0 +.I have another 10...

Thanks for the advice. I'll do a water change right now! :)

One more question for y'all,I can't thank y'all enough for putting up with me.I have 2 10 gal,one is fine,the other is very cloudy.The cloudy tank had an ich problem.Its gone now,had a filter change to put carbon bank in.Other than that,my ammonia test still shows off the charts,its been running...

I have a Whisper 200-watt submersible heater. The heater only gets the tank to 72 degrees. Is the heater too small, defective, or do I just need to add a second heater? TIA Paul
