You should test your tap water and see what levels of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate you're starting out with. There's almost 4 ppm of ammonia in my tap water, so I let all my water sit out overnight with Prime in it before I do a water change. This gives the Prime time to do whatever it does to "neutralize" the ammonia. Have you tested your tap water? |
Ditto ! lol
after 75% water change there should be a difference in amonia level
and what test kit are you using ?
