Ammo-chips Question

I have a 50gl saltwater aquarium. Saltwater master test was all good, with the exception of amonia at 0.25. I was advised to use AMMO-CHIPS now the reading is worse. My amonia level is high, my nitrite, is high and now my nitrate is high. I'm confused can this be used or should I take this out before my fish die?

 

How old is the tank and was it fully cycled?

I would get rid of the chips and dose Prime. It will st least temporarily neutralize the ammonia to safer levels.

 

Yes fully cycled. Tank is about 2 years old used before.
Ok any particular "prime"?

 

Seachem Prime. There’s only one. It’s a water conditioner that renders up to 1ppm ammonia safe for fish.

 

I see posts about using this but it gets confusing. I tried to contact the manufacture to no avail. The details indicated on the container can be confusing as well.

On,the container of AMMO-CHIPS its indicates on the front cover can be used for "any aquarium". However if you turn the container around it indicates in (benefits-section), "to, remove, amonia in fresh water aquarium".

So,if this is for "any aquarium", how come it does not reinforce its statement in the back with freshwater confirmation.

my anemone went from full bloom to shrival into a ball. Please some one I need an honest answer. I have little girls who care about these guys. Thank

 

As I said remove the ammo-chips and dose with prime to bring ammonia down. Removing the chips will likely reverse whatever I’ll effects they created. Prime will aid in rending the ammonia levels safe.

 

Ok will do thanks.

 

There all back to life about an hour after I removed the AMMO-chips and I ran out and bough Prime; added that and look at them bloom. Thanks guys!
