murphy lover 101 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 So I have a 55 gallon tank that I added angel fish to and while it was cycled, I was feeding really heavily and I tested .25 ammonia in the tank so I added some ammonia remover pellets. Now that the ammonia is gone, I want to try to get off the pellets, although I'm not sure on how to do that without the ammonia coming back?

Pepere Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 How did you add the pellets? Sprinkled them in the tank, or put them in a filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepere Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Just pull them out. Then keep an eye on levels. fwiw, I never get terribly uptight at 0.25 ppm ammonia. I just test frequently and keep an eye on it… Heck, my tap water chronically has 1 ppm ammonia. If I get a tank with ammonia creeping up, I simply transfer a spare cycled double sponge filter from one of my other tanks I keep in there just to have cycled filters on hand. https://www.amazon.com/Aquaneat-Sponge-Filter-Aquarium-XY-2831/dp/B06XZZ2BXY/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2RCGN396AXAIC&keywords=Double+sponge+filter&qid=1689674113&sprefix=double+sponge+filter%2Caps%2C492&sr=8-5 $12.00 for 4 units..

murphy lover 101 Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 I usually don't get to worried about it either, but I've had 3 out of 6 angels that I got last week die so far. Here's the link to that thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
