Hello everyone,
So I have been cycling my 20 gallon quarantine tank for about 1 months now. Now I have 2 problem.
1. There is 1ppm of ammonia in my tap water, just figure out today because the api water test thing is really hard to read. And I wanted to see what 0 ppm ammonia look like instead I found 1ppm. lol
2. Will me doing a 50% change effect the fish that I will putting in there (considering the ammonia in tap)? and I am sure the PH is going to be effect too. Will the PH change effect the good nitrogen bacteria that is already in the water?
I also read that dramatic change in PH when fish is healing is bad, what do i do to make it the same.
Thanks,
Peter
I am new to this hobby. Lose a clown and yellow tang for not quarantining. I am learning still. lol
