Salou fish, I'm also glad you found the problem with the bala shark, and it was both a wise move to do a pwc, and move the shark to another tank provided it has bacteria to care for the water...You can use prime to temp...(24 hrs) neutralize the ammonia into ammonium...just remember its is...

Qube, I do spend much time on research and there are times it helps and is functional for the intended purpose...but not all enjoy my finds. thanks for the comment. PP

My name is LT and I’m making a return to having aquariums in my home. I was an active part of the fish care hobby in days when there was no forums because there were no personal computers, and “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” was a most favored watched program…soon to be followed by “Star Trek”...

I wish to add when you leave make sure you have good air circulation for the cycles does like good oxygen circulation and in your absents that is the only issue you would have to be concerned with. That based on information your have provided up to now. I don't personally believe PH will have an...

hobgob, and blert, here is the first part of the article with both source and title. so You can read up the article in present form. With more results to follow at a later time . http://www.umsl.edu/~microbes/pdf/There's%20Something%20Fishy.pdf “There's Something Fishy” The Nitrogen Cycle...

Hobgob, water Ph is most important to the ammonia presence and water change never really had a chance to be discussed. I used the quote to emphases the use of the persons own words are confusing, for he say’s it is not a bacteria, and then it is…both would be correct since it is both a compound...

Using your own words: " We do not call the bacteria 'nitrite' and 'nitrate', that's just outright confusing. Nitrite ( NO2 ) and Nitrate ( NO3 ) are chemical compounds of nitrogen and oxygen. They are not bacteria but are the waste products of said bacteria. They are not bacteria but are the...

"Not sure where you are getting this info. Nitrite and nitrate are not bacteria and one does not neutralize the other. " Blert, I can gather the proof of statements if you wish, but let me first say I'm not here to overinflate my ego...easy for me to do...so I try to avoid it. I seek to help if...
