before you all gang up on me, and tell me Im over feeding, or Im overstocked, I would just like too say that theres 1ppm in the tap water before I start ok.
I treat the tap water, and check before changing .
But even after a day the levels are high again.
I have only 7 fish in a 10 gallon tank, and there all les than an ich except 1 of the mollies. I feed them only once a day, and have used Ammquel, Novaqua, I double up on my charcoal, and use ammonia removing chips in the filterbag also,
but still the levels are high. I know the Tank probably hasent reached top natural filtration yet, (only 1 month), but am alarmed at the High Ammonia levels all the time 2.0ppm.
the tank is litterally saturated with all kinds of Ammquel, etc,etc.
Any usfull, and constructive ideas"s please?
 
Apparently you get false positive readings on ammonia if you use Amquel.
 
If your test kit isn't for salt and fresh water, you may be getting false positives as Alien Anna states. What kind of test kit are you using?
