Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello I have a 55gal freshwater tropical fish tank i set up about 6 weeks ago. I am running a tetratec 500 filter as well as an emperor 400 with bio wheels. I have a couple gouramis,1 pleco,1 angel fish,2sailfin mollies and several danios. My ammonia is always high. All other water tests are fine. I used cycle to start the tank and have used aquasafe when i did the partial water change. I leave my 8 gallons of new water sit out for 24 hours before i do the change, then proceed with the change. I have been told so many different things by my pet store to do and i am confused at this point. Any clue what is going on? I also notice my fish have a torn look on their fins. The pet store said this is due to the high ammonia and to add aquarium salt and strees coat.. please help... thanks...[/b]
