Dont despair yet! What type of ammonia have you been using? Are you dosing it daily to 4ppm? How much is it dropping every day? What is your ph & what is the ph of your tap? Are you using any RO/other water? What are you using as a water conditioner? Have you done any pwcs yet? Have you tested for nitrates yet? What are you using to check your water parameters (strips or liquid)? More information will help us to help you!!
