ammonia

Hello MFK! Anyone who's seen my posts knows that I have a 90 gallon tank with a leopard ctenopoma, and six keyhole cichlids. (two of which have paired) I cycled the tank itself in The summer, and added the fish to the tank in July. Until now, there have been no issues with water quality at all...

75 gallon Fx6 filter One 5 inch ranchu goldfish I put biomedia from a cycled filter to the fx6, running it for 14 days in the cycled tank. I moved the fx6 to the 75 gallon. After 7 days i tested the parameters before a water change. Ammonia: .25 ppm The tap water had 0 ammonia. I admit ive...

Some how my ammonia spiked overnight and killed all 3 of my Stingrays. 1 Marble Motoro Hybrid, 1 Motoro and 1 Black Diamond. Also my Catfish is not looking so good. My 2 Gars seem to still be doing great. The Motoro I had for over 1 year and a half. Any ideas what could case this?

I have a 125 gallon African cichlids tank with .25 ammonia. My nitrite is 0 and nitrates are getting produced. The tank cycled for a month and then I put fish in 3 months ago. Can anyone tell me why this is. Also my ammonia alert consistently reads 0

It was my childhood dream to have a proper fish tank, and I am pretty close to draining the whole thing and putting a couple of lizards or snakes in it atm. I could really use a little help in figuring out what is going on. Tank Specs 850L ~ 200 gallons Hardscape, 1cm gravel, 3 large rocks, 2...

Alright so it's been a couple months since I first posted this issue. I'm still having trouble with my ammonia levels, and I feel like my little Otter (7-month old stingray) might be rolling into some trouble. Recap/Update: 125gl lightly planted tank with 45gl sump. Socks on two outlets...

Hey guys! I need some expertise. I have a 125g lightly planted tank with six bunches of hornwart (oxygenater) with a lightly sanded bottom, large piece of drift wood, connected to a 40g sump tank. In my sump, my water direction is right to left. Two filter socks, 30 pot scrubbies, a medium...

ok, this may not be possible but I’ll give you some info. This is long btw I setup my new 125 g Monday night. Used safe start and let it run overnight. In the morning I saw one of my fish stressed from bullying in my established tank so I made a decision. Fish in cycling it would be for my...

I have a 75 gallon bowfront. I currently have a LMB about 4”, a 5-6” peacock bass, and a 2” bluegill all from a breeder. I cycled the tank for alittle over a month with a HOB 75 gallon aqueon quietflow and a HOB 40 gallon filter at the same time. Gravel, some rocks and a mix of fake plants and I...

I just checked water parameters on both my 120 gallon tank with 6 Red Hook Silver dollars and 220 gallon with two peacock bass. The ammonia on the 120g is at 1ppm, nitrites are at 0mgl and the nitrates are at 25mgl. The pH has also dropped from 6-6.5 to 4-4.5. The tank has been established...

Hi Sorry for starting I new thread but I thought I should test my water after I did a 50% wc and canister filter clean. So my nitrates are down, good means I need to change more water. Unfortantalty, I'm getting between 0.5-1ppm ammonia. I had my canister filter not running for around 30mins...

Hi guys, what are the numbers do you see on this reading? I'm seeing a number between 0 - 0.25ppm. What do you guys see? My nitrites is at 0ppm and nitrates between 10-20ppm. Iam not quite sure if misterhamster(Jardini) is doing alright, he seems to be staying in one corner of the tank when...

Take a look at this, just tested my tap water. Registering at 1 ppm after I waited the 5 minutes! WHAT THE HELL! I'm in Clairemont, 92117. Anyone in san diego should test their taps right now. Didn't notice this for at least a week, oh ****! My fiance over by the 15 and 52 has a new betta tank...

I was interested if their are reptiles or amphibians, especially from Africa or Madagascar, that can be housed alongside African cichlids in a terrestrial section. I know I have seen OB peacocks kept with large crocodiles at zoos (clearly not something that can be replicated at home) This is...

I've had my puffers for about a week now. I just moved them into their own 40 gallon tank three days ago. I went to my local petco yesterday and get the saltwater api kits for nitrate and ammonia levels. I couldn't get the others because they were out. Anyways I've checked my levels for the two...

I'm planning on filling my 55 gallon tank up tomorrow after a quick trip to LFS, I already have prime to make my tap water safe, but I'll be picking up a master test kit, api quick start, stress coat, and ammo lock. I plan on using quick start to start my cycle until I get a few baby tetras from...

So, yesterday I did my usual 50% water change on my 120. About 30 mins later I noticed a few of my smaller fish dead and a few of my bigger fish really struggling. I tested the water and had 3ppm ammonia, zero nitrite and around 10 ppm nitrate. I was totally confused, my tanks are all cycled and...
