Ammo-carb, Ammo-chips

[gourami5]

Are you guys familiar with filter media products from aquarium pharmaceutical called "Ammo-Carb" and "Ammo-Chips"?? Are they any good? I have tried "prime" and "Amquel+", but my tank's ammonia level is still high(1.5-2ppm) and I don't want to overdose my fishes with those products.


Tank has been running for 4 weeks now, 40 gallons tank with 5 small (around 2-inches) african cichlids.

Thanks in advance.

Water change, water change, water change.

I'd do two changes a day (morning / evening) until Ammonia / Nitries are undercontrol.

Did you cycle the tank before putting the fish in???
