Aquarium Advice Regular
I purchased my Chlorine test strips at Petsmart.
I'm so glad I found this site. Someone always has advice for you.
You should also brace yourself for some potentially sick fish in the near future, because once your cycle starts to roll over - your ammonia problem could quickly become a nitrite problem - which I've seen do a lot more damage to fish than ammonia.
I'm really glad I found this site too. It's been so helpful already and I've only been a member for 5 days.
Thank you everyone on AA. Although I feel like I'm at a meeting every time I type AA.
I have an ammonia problem in both of my 55 gallon tanks. Since it is in both it must be something I'm doing, but I don't know what.
There aren't any nitrates or nitrites from over feeding. I only have 5 fish in one of the tanks, so I don't think it's overcrowding.
I have 2 filters on both tanks 1 is the Magnum Canister and the other is the Emperor 400, so there is adequate filtering.
Does anyone have a suggestions?
I'm really getting tired of doing water changes every other day, it's exhausting. But if I don't change the water at least every other day, by the 3rd day the ammonia level is 2.0ppm or higher.
I'll take any advice at all, I don't care how out there it may sound. This has been going on for 2 months and I'm at a loss as to what else I can do.
HELP
Hahaha! I think the same thing!
Thanks for the pep talk, it's discouraging sometimes to work so much and see zero changes.Keep up, for the 55G tanks will take maybe longer, but your PWC will help the fish.
