So I flipped on the light on in my 20gal GBR tank and noticed the infamous white specs on my rams. I have only had ich one other time in the past two years of my fish keeping experience and it didn't turn out good. Ended with a blue staind tank and a dead goldfish. I really want to beat this...
Yeah I agree. 2ppm should be good. The bacteria should take about 10 days before you start seeing traces of nitrites. Best thing is to kick back and let things brew. Just an fyi that when you do see nitrites cut back your dosing to half or 1ppm ammonia. The op of this thread has noted on...

One thing to check while buying ammonia is to shake the bottle real good and make sure it doesn't foam. Even though it is clear and says pure ammonia it may still contain other detergents that cause it to foam up. As far as your tank if it has been running this whole time then bacteria may...
I got a blue gourmi on friday to add in ram tank. I acclimated it for 45mins before adding to my tank. All he seems to do when the lights are on is swim up and down in the same corner of the tank. If I add food he will eat and then back to up and down in the corner. Why is he doing this...
