Correct me if I'm wrong, but the true toxicity of ammonia can only be calculated when factoring in water temperature and pH.

Hi Pistorta. It sounds like you know way more about ammonia poisoning than me. Am sure you're right, although I've never researched pH/temp influence on ammonia.

I just know that it's way more toxic than nitrate.

Toxic is Toxic.

While nitrates are not AS toxic as ammonia, that is like saying breathing carbon monoxide is not as bad as breathing chlorine. They're both toxic, but carbon monoxide will just take longer to kill you.

Glad everything is coming together for you.

Yes, exactly. Neither are very good for your fish.
