    ammonia levels

    I have had my 10 gallon tank running a fish-in cycle for 3 1/2 weeks now. still new to it all. I am using the api master liquid tests and my tank has been a steady 0.25ppm for 4-5 days now. my tap also tested 0.25ppm. Will my tank ever read 0ppm? or always 0.25 since that amount is in my tap?

    Using water treatments?

    I was wondering if I need to purchase dechlorinator or not for my 10 gal tank. Our water comes directly from an underground spring.
