Lordie that's not good to have that kind of reading on the ammonia. Do more water changes... you've got to get a 0ppm reading on that. Best wishes to you for your efforts on behalf of your fishies. Keep up the good work!

You have no idea how shocked I was too see the ammonia that high. I've been doing 50% water changes every other day. I guess it's up to 70% and the addition of more bacteria from my other tanks.
I would just use distilled water to do water changes now to lower NH3/NO2 and between dosage thruout the treatments (if mfr recommends it).
I rather not boost BB in Q/T at this moment as long as pH kept under 7.4. As long as
pH kept under 7.4 or even lower and No BB, any NH3 produced during/after treatment by fish or med are in NH4+ and since no BB avail, no NO2 will be produced. Thus no need to worry during treatment.
Correct the water condition before tempting further treatment with any meds.
