You need to do large water changes to get the ammonia down. If your ammonia is 1.0 and you do a 50% water change, then you are going to halve your Ammonia level (0.5). You can keep doing this until you get the ammonia level down to as near to 0 as you can.
thanks for the help everybody
asked someone at home to do a 50% water change.
I also bought a bottle of API ammolock. will dose with it tonight and continue with water change.
asked someone to make another water change earlier. was able to bring down ammonia to .5mg/l . ph at 6.0
problem is my silver aro still not good my other aros seems to be lethargic too.
I added API Ammlock already. now can't decide what to do next 1 of my black barred silver dollar has developed cloudy eye.
need advice badly since i easily panic
Planning to buy API stressZYME. anything else i can do?
btw if ammonia is gone do i have to watch out for nitrite?
not really sure if my tank is cycling again?
btw can i use melafix together with ammolock? my silver aro is shedding slime and 1 of my black bar has cloudy eye.
