Default Re: Intro and question

Thanks again guys. Since my ammonia tested so high, I did treat for the ammonia. I however, did not treat until after the test, so the test is correct.

I also put 2 airstones off my big(5"x4") air pump to eliminate/deminish the oxygen ock-up issues. Since then I have also taken my rams out of the tank, and put them in the established smaller tank. I do not want to overcrowd the established tank, so I am leaving the guppies in the larger tank. Hoping that with the amo-fix, and a few water changes, I will lower my ammonia numbers enough to make the guppies comfortable. I have some 5-gallon buckets, will use some water treatment and use that to do water changes. I might have a perfectly cleaned, unused 30 gallon big trash-pale, might pay to fill that up and use out of there.

Kinda leary on using rain-water, being surrounded by salt-water on all sides having too much salt content. Will do a big water change tonight with steamed distilled, and fill up the buckets for subsequent changes. Thanks guys.
