 | Chloramine causing nitrite spikes |
openwater   Fish Addict Posts: 565 Kudos: 551 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Jul-2004   | when performing water changes can water containing choramine lead to an nitrite spike by overloading biological filtration due to the addition of ammonia. Or is the amount of ammonia added in the form of choramine to small to affect balance. Occording to city water web page, chloramine concentration averages 2.19mg/l.

Chloramines should not cause ammonia or false test positive for ammonia. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright |
