Looks good. What did you add that caused the ammonia to rise?

[Saltyone]

Nothing i just added more LR today thats allhow high is dangerious for ammonia??

[VoodooChild]

That's probably what caused it. It should be no big deal, especially if the stuff is cured. If your fish are gasping at the surface, then do some water changes, but I really doubt it'll get higher than where it's at.

I've also heard of the wet and dry problems like if the power goes out I can have a flood in my living room ( Wife will kill me!!!) what should I do ????. :sim: :

ANY ammonia present is bad, but as long as it stays below 0.25ppm it wont be immediatly fatal, but over the long term it can be a problem.
