so I just got to read through the last day or so posts-- Yes mum I agree any amount of amon is a bad thing but some perimaters stay at a certain level. I have looked in all kinds of forums and specialist ( not the LPS) and they are started to agreee based on where and what type of water prior to the dechlor is added not all water will be completely free-- It might read 0 for a certain point but WC and other food and the like can change those readings all the time. I watch my tank everyday to make sure everyone is alive and happy I make sure my fish are eating, playing, searching there environment which shows they are curious and enjoying there home. NO one has been stressed ( except the guppies when I introduced the BN but bc they were the only ones there now everyone is good) my one female who was preggo and had been holding her fry is so comfortable she delvd yesterday morn!! of course she ate a few before I could get them but that is nature lol.... I think each person has to monitor there own tank and see what works best for the specific fish and how they are responded to said environ I am not saying that advice is a bad thing but we should all realize we all have diff fish we diff needs and if one tank might say .5 ppm and .0ppm but the fish are healthy and no suffering is apparent or evident then something must be working correctly. I upgraded my filter to a AC 50 about week ago and have always had plants and a bubbler volc for the water agit and added oxy in the tank. I think what I was trying to explain to scott which prob didnt translate well was to make sure his amn was ver low not u know 4.00ppm ike I have seen some readings and people want to put fish in YIKES ( not u scott) thats what I was getting at
