Thanks everyone for your responses. I wish I had read them before I went to the fish store today. I was on that end of town running other errands so I told them of my dilemma and they gave me something called Amquel+ to remove the ammonia in the water.
Oh, and if anyone is wondering, yes the tank has been cycled and doing well for almost six months. Let me know if Amquel+ is as good as SeaChem. It says it removes Nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, chlorine, and chloramines.
Question though: Wouldn't it be a bad thing to remove all ammonia? The biobugs need it to live. Well, unless this Amquel just removes it initially but doesn't STAY in the water. That must be it, just intial "removal" Ignore my my previous "brain exercise"
Oh, and it makes sense about them adding chloramine in the summer because during the spring my straight from the tap read 2.5ppm but once going through the Aquasana filter it read 0, so that worked out for me, but these past two months I got 5ppm from the tap and 2.5 from the filter. I'm in the Southest of the South Louisiana so we've already got temps in the 90's and we went through a little drought about a week ago, that probably affected the water as well.
Anyhow, thanks again and please let me know if you "approve" of Amquel. I added it this afternoon. This is the first small water change I've done with the tap water in the last couple of months because I've had to use bottled water, which was a huge pain in the neck. I hope I didn't mess up the pH by switching from tap to bottled to tap again??? I'm about to test the water. I'm pretty sure it's okay because all my little fishy friends are frolicking as we speak!
Many thanks,
