Hi guys - I have kept Tropical fish in relatively small tanks over year years without much problem but having given myself an early Christmas present of a 60"x 30" x 15" I thought I would invest in water testing kit - the tank cycled for two - three weeks without fish and was seeded with nitrifying bacteria to get the process under way. I proceeded to introduce fish at a regular rate of about 5 - 6 per week until I have now reached the current level of about 30 fish. I only lost two platies along the way so was pretty pleased.
After a couple of months the ammonia level hit 8.ppm and panic set in! I added Ammo lock - as per instruction and within 3 days the tank became very very very cloudy. I have since done a 25% water change and it is starting to clear.
Has anyone else had this experience with Ammo lock - I will not be using again if I can help it - I guess my cycling wasn't very successful - any advice welcome ?????
