    And how are you acclimating. Losing all your fishies makes me wonder if you're just dumping them in there or properly acclimating.

    Also if you're ammonia readings are a spike or if it has never been zero. I am also wondering if you ever finished cycling.

    This should be a standard form for people posting problems!

    HSL0389,

    I'd be willing to bet your ammonia is part of the problem that's way too high assuming your tank has gone through a cycle. It sounds like from your original post you are throwing in a lot of livestock at once. Details about this and what all kinds of livestock you are adding would be very helpful.

    What type of filters? The more info you give the better, a list of equipment would maybe help. Are you using RO/DI water?

    This is an old thread and it seems the OP is gone, thanks for trying to help though.
