Questions
What changes color? The yellow in the middle?
- Yes. the yellow would start turning blue if ammonia is present.

Ok I have a 55 gallon tank and I've always had small tanks recently I decided one 55 gallon is good enough and I have never had a master kit should I start there 1st
- I would absolutely start with an API master kit. Make sure you get the correct kit for your water type. They have a freshwater, saltwater, and pond test kit. Even experienced aquarists use the kit. It is worth every penny.

Can this be used to detect ammonia in dog urine? I want to use in my kennel.
- I wouldn't think so. It has to be immersed in water to detect ammonia in the water. I've tested this in pure ammonia just to make sure it does give an alert. If it could be activated by the presence of ammonia in the air, it would have turned color before I immersed it in the ammonia. However, if you collected the dog urine in a receptacle and placed the alert in that, I'm sure it would work.

how do I change the ammonia, nitrates in my aquiarium
I’m trying to cycle a 10 gal fish tank. I have been adding your biological booster for a month now and nothing is happening. The ammonia is holding steady at .5 ppm and I’m not seeing any nitrites. Is there a way I can test to see if there are actually live bacteria in the booster. I’ve checked everything else I can think of.
This red spot is getting worse ive monitored the ph and ammonia is it red patch disease what should i do? Treatments!?
My Powder Blue Dwarf Gourami, Is twiching and i really don't know what to do i think its ammonia.
All of my fish died after using a product purchased at Petco called ACUREL-F. How do I get their water safe to put in new fish?
My flowerhorn tanks water has exptremely high nitrate level . I returned from vacation yesterday to find a cloudy tank and high levels nitrate . I did a 50% water change and added prime . He now is gasping for air or at least that’s what it looks like and nitrates are still in the red . I was told to add aquarium salts and wait it out . I’m scared I’ll loose him . What should I do quarantine
I just purchased Imagitarium Ammonia-Reducing filter media cubes from Petco and there are no instructions for how to use. I have a 5 gallon tank with a submerged Built-in filtration system how many cubes do I use and how do I put them in my filter? Please provide the instructions thank you for your time.
Good morning, How do I use the acclimation guide for pond fish? If i quarantine them for 2 weeks how do I introduce them to the actual pond they will live in? Thank you
I just got home from PetSmart to have my water tested and they said it was safe to transfer my fish into my new 29g with better filtration. But when I put them in there, I noticed they have red/lilac gills, signs of ammonia poisoning, and I'm thinking it's from my old 10g with poor filtration, but how can I be sure?
Hi, I have a marine fish tank with 4 fish, an anemone, and a couple of invertebrates. There's nothing wrong right now but I'm scared that I might have jeopardized the aquarium's safety during a maintenance routine. I was doing some aquascaping when I realized that I forgot to rinse my hand beforehand, which worries me because I had handled clorox wipes (benzyl ammonium chloride) roughly 30 minutes before touching the water. Are my fish going to be ok, and is there anything I can do right now?
how to cure nitrite poisoning in my goldfish
We are new to having aquariums, we really didn't realize so many things played a factor with the water. We currently have a 10 gallon tank but want to increase to a 29 gallon tank. We currently buy gallons of water but with the 29 gallon tank we really don't want to have to do that. We have well water with a salt filter. My levels from to tap was nitrate 10, nitrite 0, hardness 0, chlorine 0, alk 100, ph 7.. is my tap water safe even with the salt filter.
