Hi,
As the heading indicates I am having a huge ammonia spike with a newly installed Akadama substrate.
The readings on my test kit are off the scale and that's after two 80% water changes today and one last night.
Fortunately I haven't got any fish in there yet. The new substrate was installed last weekend but instead of using Osmocoat I used the miracle grow equivalent.http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/invt/0240321
I couldn't find Osmocoat in any of my local stores and as James had said that the miracle grow equivalent would be fine (( bottom of page 11- top of page 12) http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=741&start=100) I used that instead.
What is the best course of action now??????
Regards, Chris.
