Nana Finopolis Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Anyone know why my tap water has ammonia in it? Could it be chloramine that's doing it? With the API test kit it shows 0.5 ppm. I then tested my water and it was 1.0 ppm! I changed water and treated with prime. But, any other ideas/suggestions would be so appreciated.

FrozenFins Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) It is very common with tap water to have amonia in it. Its not harmful to humans (at least not a t 0.5ppm) but it is to fish. Seachem Prime will detoxify that amonia from the tap. I don't know how well though as I have never had to try. And I beleive chlorimine is amonia and chlorine together.
