So I started a 60 gallon tall a few weeks ago (beginning of april) and I added 10 tigerbarbs and 10 large bronze corys. And 2 juvenile blue acaras.
I had all these guys in there before the tank was done cycling 100%. After adding the fish, I tested my water and found that I had 0.50ppm of ammonia.
Alarmed I went the quickest route of recovery for my tank which I was led to believe was AMMO LOCK.
Since I started using ammo lock over the past two weeks. My ammonia level went from .50ppm - 8.0ppm or higher. My apI kit doesn't even test this colour accurately.
Iv been dosing the instructed amount. 30ml for 60 gallonof water every 2 days.
If anyone has any experience with ammo lock and any recommendations they would be greatly appriciated.
I do have to say though, I do believe the ammo lock has been keeping my fish alive because if I did have toxic 8.0ppm all my fish would die I presume?
This is my first issue with ammonia
