Hey everyone,
I am working on setting up a biological filter in my 80 gallon tank. It used to be a carbon filter that is now filled with biomax. The filter is a marine land magnum 350 canister. I have some tetras in the tank at the moment. I am noticing that my ammonia reading is .25
I am doing water changes everyday to try to build the bacteria up but I'm noticing the ammonia is not changing even after the water change. I did a test on my tap water and it came out at 1.0
I have tried using prime and aqua safe. The fish are very active and eating well but I am worried about the ammonia level.
I recently read that prime could cause problems when building the biological filter. What should I do?
