Looks like ammonia burn. What are the parameters?

Just checked them and ammonia is very slightly up its at .5. I am doing a WC in about an hour I'm letting my tap water sit with an aerator and power head with Prime in it to remove chlorine and get it to exact tank temp.

I would also add 1 tablespoon of salt per 10 gallons pre diluted and raise the temp to about 82

I added 10 tbsp last night with a 25% WC and I am doing 2 more 25% WC today and I will add another 10 tbsp after those 2 are completed. Btw its a 210g.

Yea, you should see some improvement. Has the tank been running long?

They make charcoal pads which remove ammonia and nitrites you could maybe try that. The charcoal might also remove containiments you don't know about. I never used them but it won't do any harm. Also use salt.

That was very odd the ammonia was only at .5 when I checked it but it could have spiked over night and I didn't know about it. High temp, salt and excess WC did the trick. Thanks guys.
