My amonia is good!

[FishyLovers]

the amount of amonia and nitrate in my water and the ph and salinity are all tested and are all fine! now can i get clownfish?

 

[Deanos]

What exactly are the ammonia and nitrite levels?

 

[LongIslandAndy]

Is there anything in the tank to cycle it. How long has the thank been up?

 

[Josh]

Can you provide a list of the equipment on your tank? Skimmer? Powerheads? Heater?

 

[anthony27]

some pictures are also good, you want to list all your parmeters and so forth how are you testing the water, we are all asking this because the last thing you want on your hands is money spent on a fish and the next day it is dead and you cant bring it back to the store and your out of the money.

 

[FishyLovers]

no skimmer koralia powerhead eheim filter i dont know what heater 26lbs of ls 22 lbs of live rock no amonia in the water

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

What are your Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate parameters exactly? Please post them. What is your pH? Please post it.

 

[anthony27]

What is the size of the tank and test kits ur using

 

[FishyLovers]

35 gal tank 0-.25 ammonia and nitrate ph 8.3 salinity 1.023

 

[anthony27]

dude post some pictures of your tank so we can get a better idea of what you have I would hate to see your fish die for no reason. Also what test kits are you using

 

[jrobbins]

if you are showing .25 ammonia on your test kits, your levels are NOT fine...raising the salinity a bit wouldn't hurt either.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

What is your nitrite reading? What test kits are you using?

Pics of the setup would be great!

 

[anthony27]

same thing I said as chef can you post some pictures salt levels I see you posted how to take care of a bubble tiped anemoine (dont know how to spellit)

 

[pmui]

??? there is ammonia in the tank, that's means it has not gone through the nitrite cycle that will definitely kill the fish.

 

[FishyLovers]

wait my ammonia has to be 0!

 

[ninjabeard]

yeah pics yeah

 

[Awibrandy]

wait my ammonia has to be 0!

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!! As well as your NITRITES!!!!!!!

The nitrates should be as close to zero as possible to. For fish I wouldn't go any higher then 40 ppm, for reef 20, but the lower the better.
0 on all of them would be ideal.:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin:splitspin
Please do yourself, and your future animals a big favor, and do some more research......................................

 

[FishyLovers]

i retested with API test strip my ammonia is 0 and my nitrite is 20 ppm i cant get pictues but can i now get fish

 

[Awibrandy]

NO! You must wait until your nitrites are 0, and your nitrates are at the very least 40ppm. Preferrably 20ppms.

Please allow your tank to finish cyclin!! Or you are not only going to be wasting your money, but you will be causing the life of any fish you put in there.

 

[anthony27]

Listen to awibrandy and also I stated the same thing. Wait for the tank to cycle out and then buy your fish one question what do you have in that tank now cause I rember you posted something about a rba or a ba in a thread and how to feed them .
