I just got a new tank and I'm having a problem with ammonia levels. My API freshwater testing kit is reading 1PPM. With the 1st water change I realized that my tap water has ammonia in it. I've done a few water changes and the ammonia levels are staying the same. I'm filling buckets at night adding prime stability as well as API stress Zymes. Because of the levels I added an ammonia alert from seachum as well to hopefully point out of things are critical. The ammonia alert is continually reading ok levels but API continues to read 1.0ppm. I also used Amguard when I originally found the ammonia levels were high. I've been adding appropriate amounts of prime stability each day for the past 5 days. Fish seem OK. The reason for my post is with the last water change my ph levels dropped to 6.8. At this point I'm just don't really know what to do. I have added some seashells and hopes to naturally raise the ph levels. Anybody got any ideas?
