Check that the aquarium is sufficiently aerated as oxygen is required for the nitrifying bacteria to break down the ammonia into nitrite

Ammonia is a metabolic by product from fish. Fish excrete ammonia from their gills and with their faeces. When faecal matter breaks down more ammonia is released. Ammonia is formed when proteins and amino acids are metabolised and therefore if fish are overfed, the left over food increases the ammonia concentration in the water. Another source of ammonia is the decomposition of waste matter (dead plants, fish, snails etc.). See similar questions...

Gnats and other small flies are common in tropical amphibian tanks when the substrate is either too damp or there are many rotting plant leaves in the tank. To get rid of them change the substrate in the cage and remove any dying or dead plants. If they continue to persist consider switching to a new substrate. See similar questions...

lt;In all likelihood, there will be some type of spike, due to the abundant nutrients that will be imported through fresh live rock and loss of sand bed....Monitor water chemistry very carefully, okay?> Could you give a run down on what needs to be done to make the move.

If you have a 10 gallon tank, you won't be able to keep large fish. If you have a 200 gallon tank, you have a lot of choices! See similar questions...

SEPTICARE will eliminate the odors and solve the problems causing them. A "shock" treatment of 4 scoops (using your SEPTICARE scoop) followed by daily treatments of 2 scoops is needed until odors are eliminated. Daily treatments should continue for one week, even though odors have ceased, in order to solve the main problem causing the odors. See similar questions...

First let us lay some groundwork: audio systems can exhibit "hum" and they can exhibit "buzz," which are two separate situations. To solve the problem, you need to determine whether your system is exhibiting hum or buzz. Sixty(60)-hertz hum (fifty(50) hertz internationally) is a result of having a ground loop in the audio system. This is where there are two or more ground references in the system, and current is flowing from one ground point to another. See similar questions...

Ammonia has long been identified as a contaminant in the fab and is easily removed. As technology has progressed, evidence has revealed that NMP, acids, and non-polar organics (to name a few) are also negatively affecting tools and processes, which cause down time and lower yield rates See similar questions...

If you have too little material rich in carbon you will get a surplus of nitrogen. This nitrogen turns into ammonia and gives off an odour. See similar questions...
