| Dec 10, 2013 at 1:45 | comment | added | toxotes | Well, I don't know what to tell you. I dosed Excel in my own tank half an hour ago and as of right now the ammonia according to the API Freshwater kit is 0ppm and pH is the normal ~7. If you think it's just a false reading or have seen any documentation for this, that's fine, but I'd personally be concerned here. | |

| Dec 7, 2013 at 20:24 | comment | added | toxotes | Whoa, that is weird and wrong. 0.25ppm is actually still dangerous, but 8ppm would probably be lethal. This is getting off-topic, but what test kit are you using? And by remove, do you mean a 25% water change or literally just drain out 25%? | |
| Dec 7, 2013 at 19:23 | comment | added | Don Larynx | @toxotes: when I remove 25% of my water, the ammonia goes from 0.25 to 8 ppm. Surely my fish would suffer a severe ailment if this was the case. :) | |

| Dec 7, 2013 at 13:42 | comment | added | toxotes | Well, I did read it that way at first, but Excel doesn't directly affect ammonia or pH -- and definitely shouldn't make them "go off the charts" -- so I didn't think that's what you meant. Regardless of what's causing it, these readings are a red flag. | |
| Dec 7, 2013 at 3:14 | comment | added | Don Larynx | @toxotes: I get ammonia reading because of the flourish excel. Read post. My fish also laid eggs..just saying | |
| Dec 6, 2013 at 17:40 | comment | added | toxotes | If you're seeing ammonia in your test results, don't add any more fish yet -- your biofilter isn't keeping up with what you have. Water hardness and pH will affect free vs. ionized ammonia (some tests measure both, some don't), but any readable amount is too much. If I'm misreading you though, what's your typical pH and temperature? | |

rephrased title; less generic
