hello I have done about 30% as my sharks were going a bit mad and still a bit `drowsy ` if that's the right word from the ammonia poison. Shall I do another water change in about 2 hours ?. Im of to my LFS to find the best product. I was thinking the fluval bag which go in the filter ` ammonia remover ` I think they are called i would have one in both fx5s I have used these in the past with great result, Or I will get a chemical I add to the water im not sure yet. Whats so good about ammo-lock ? or have you had good experience with it ? thanks
Hi
I would do another water change if possible.Ammo-lock converts ammonia to the less toxic ammonium.
Yes i have used it before.You will still get a positive reading on your test kit for ammonia.
As long as you do plenty of water changes and use the product as per instructions all should be well.

i am sorry to hear about your problem
, rather than doing onne big water change 50% do lots of little changes spaced out over the day eg. 20% - 3 x a day if you can
