Sorry I have a 55 gallon with
3 mollies
1 gourami
1 pleco
7 tetras
4 danios
8 platies
It is reading around 1-2ppm tonight.
The second tank is a 30 gallon with
6 platies
8 tetras
Pleco
Same routine but usually a 10-15 gallon weekly water change. This tank is really high at 4-8ppm. I have been fighting it for weeks. Water changes regularly, added ammonia lock and now just added ammonia chips.
I vacuum weekly with usually a 15-20 gallon change. I just did my plants (artificial) two weeks ago and then changed the filter this week. think I may have eliminated my good bacteria , now that I talk this out.
My ammonia was always low 0-.25ppm so is my tap water in the big tank. Little tank has always been a struggle.
