BLUEYES said:i've done 2 50% pwc today and its got my ammonia down to .50 from 2/4. i use stress coat it says removes chlorine & chloramines detoxifies heavy metals. i add the water and put the stress coat in immediatly after. Yes i have an airstone and my filter is about 1in above my water level so it moves it around good.
There is the likely problem. You are chlorine zapping your bacteria colonies.BLUEYES said:i only put the stress coat in for the amount of new water im putting in the tank is that right?
Depending on how you do your PWCs:
Using buckets/jugs - Add treatment to container and mix with water. Five gallon jug, use enough to treat five gallons and mix.
Using Python type thing - Add treatment to tank, enough for the ENTIRE VOLUME of the tank, BEFORE you refill.
