Ammonia level came up..... Just curious.... Why

[Jimmy Gibson]

Just an update to anyone that is interested..... After my huge water change and my ammonia going up, I did a water test today and I am back to my good old yellow with a slight tint of green on my ammonia and my nitrates is almost zero and nitrites, I attribute the nitrates and nitrites being zero is the plants in my pond are going crazy, most of the plants I have growing directly in the water are plants that I took out of our terrestrial garden, other than the cattails, water cabbage, and the water lillies. They are eating the nitrates as quick as they are produced, fish are healthy and happy, so I am happy

Probably not attainable I would love to see zero ammonia one time in the summer time and when I am feeding them..... Still studying on ways to do that..... Lol

Get a stock tank and save yourself a headache .I always pump my water into one if it needs it .Usually during a heavy rain I will pump some into my stock tank that I keep near the pond

Would love to learn from what Eric TPD calls the girl of questions what you do with the stock tank and why you use it as reserve top off water. If I read your reply RIGHT

The you never know .I don't have the best luck with pond liners (had 2 different times dogs fell in and moles chewed my liner another time ) and some people I give plants to I store in it and baby fish to be given away go in there I keep a filter and a pump going in the tank and transfer water from the pond to it and also use some of my filter pads that are worn out in it ..Yes Eric is a friend .
