Aquarium Advice Regular
Well I wouldn't get dirty looks if the water wasn't so...dirty...sorry, I couldn't resist.
Seriously, I'm having this huge problem in my tank. I posted earlier how my crawdad assassinated one of my goldies, now I can't seem to get the water to clear up.
The Amonia readings (after a 50% water change) are off the charts at 3.0. I put Ammo Lock in a few days ago and am resisting the urge to repeat the treatment because I don't want to screw with the cycle - yes, to top off the whole mess - the tank is cycling.
So what do I do? Should I do 100% water change, or is that too drastic? I wonder if there are some bits of fish left over from the crawdad-goldie battle? Could that cause such a large Amonia spike?
