Just for those who are on Chloramine. When the ammonia part is breaking down the cycle (BB) kicks in and the end product is nitrate. So, that will increases along with fish waste; more, so than if is was just chlorine.

Mervin is spot on. Too add onto Seachem Prime & Safe, buy the Safe because it's ridiculous how little of it you use each WC as compared to Prime (liquid form). 8 oz. of Safe (powder form) lasts me for 8 months (and I heavy pour it... no harm over dosing)... 8 oz Prime won't last me 2 WEEKS!

You'll find Prime in stores because stores make MUCH more since you must purchase often. Go online for Seachem Prime. I found that secret here from other people on SD. Huge $$$ saver

Best to change greater amounts of aged water. Every WC you are leaving 70% of dirty, depleted water behind. With time your have a bluild up of something and a lack of with something else. You feeding BF which does not much for water quality. When your nitrates are 10 or below your making progress.
