Having a s;ight ammonia issue and Im hoping you guys can help me narrow the cause.
Problem is not in my tank but in my mixed saltwater used for water changes. Im getting anywhere form a .25 to .50ppm reading depending on the container Im checking
I use two 20 gallon brutes and a 35 gallon brute to mix my water.
I use Kent Reef Salt mix.
Ive checked the RO water, reading at 0ppm, so thats not the source.
Ive come to 2 conclusions:
1. Either the containers are leaching or they are dirty (I usually clean them every other time, but not sure I did so this time)
2. Or the salt is bad and causing ammonia to spike(is that even possible)
Any ideas? Ive now got 75-80 gallons of mixed saltwater that is showing an ammonia reading, I dont want to throw it out, can I save it? Carbon??
