RE: [AquaticLife] A very basic aquarium question

 

You would test the ammonia immediately after the water change to see if you
changed enough.

If you did not change enough water (still have ammonia) you could
immediately change more.

Why do you have ammonia? Is the tank not cycled? You should not need a
product to lower ammonia.

Subject: [AquaticLife] A very basic aquarium question

Hi, I am new to aquariums. I have a 6 gallon tank with a half moon betta
fish.

So today I checked his water before I did my 25% water change.

Everything was fine except ammonia. It was a bit high.

So I put a Microlift product to lower the ammonia in the aquarium.

Then I vacuumed the gravel and pumped out 25%v of the water.

Then, I added new water. It had been sitting out for three days and I added
a couple of drops of Prime yesterday and put it in his tank today.

When should I do an ammonia test again?

Did I make a mistake and should only test the water after I put in the
new water?

Thank you

Yechezkel
