Dosed to 4ppm (or a little above) on June 3rd - no surfactants or other things listed. It is older ammonia, probably about 5% concentrated based on how much I had to add to get it to go....
ammonia started dropping on 6/11
Here we are 6/19 and still no nitrites
Today's readings:
pH - 8.2 (gosh I hope this gets lower before I put the fish in.....)
Ammonia - between 0.5 and 1 ppm
nitrites = 0 ppm
Should I redose ammonia at this point? PWC? I am worried something else is wrong....
Other info that may be useful:
temp - between 82 and 84F
water level lowered to get splash from aquaclear 50 filter
have bubble aerator
added driftwood 1.5 weeks ago
added pinch of fish food 4 days ago to try to help something.....
