Hi everyone I need help the ammonia levels in bento's tank are going down I'm using my api test kit for salt water but using pictures I found online that show the results for the fresh water (picture included of the bottle) http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/18 ... esult.jpg/

Bento is sitting on the bottom breathing heavily and is blacker in color.

The problems is I've been doing wc's constantly with only around 5 -10 mins in between each and I'm doing about a 65% wc. Is that not enough time inbetween? Is there anything else I can do?

Just stick with it. 2 or 3 large daily partials should be enough to keep levels safe, make sure you are using prime

what if I did like 2 70% wc's an hour for like 2 hours?

Definitely do 2 60-70% partials split through out the day not only two hours apart. If you do two real close together then you have 22 hours where non are being done and the ammonia can rise.

Do you have LR in the tank? Was that LR cured? What are your trates and trites?
