Aquarium Advice Freak
So I'm still new to aquariums and made the mistake on my first tank of just introducing 5 fish to treated tap water.
Obviously as the nitrogen cycle began, we lost 2 fish to ridiculous ammonia levels.
I've been doing non-stop research in between, and even bought a testing kit.
The problem is, for the last 2+ weeks, even with regular water changes and gravel vacuuming, the ammonia has been STEADY at 2.0ppm.
What gives?! Am I doing something wrong? Does it take longer than 2 weeks to start dropping?
We even purchased one of those "ammonia remover" bags from petco and had that in for a week. Even after that, and a water change, it's still at 2.0 ppm.
