...water change

Amanda

A good size water change to get that ammonia down to zero.

Shawnie

I agree with amanda and unless you have ammonia in your tap water, it should help alot!

tomchitown

125g
how much water should i remove ?

Shawnie

id do 30-50 % someday when I grow up im going to have a 125 gal im so envious

tomchitown

Thanks !!!! time to get to work

AlyeskaGirl

Yeah, I'd do about 50%

Shawnie

you will probably be good with the 30% goodluck! but make sure thats the least amount

The problem is the tank isn't properly cycled right now. I'm assuming it was before. You could also put in some Prime to neutralize the ammonia if you can't do a water change today. But the change would be best.
