If you had read my earlier post I was having a ammonia problem in my 125 gal. tank it was a 2ppm with weekly water chandes and siphoning!
I was told by a marine biologist to remove my driftwood because it was breaking up in my tank and causing my water to soften and PH to fall drastically which in turn caused my bacteria not to develop in significant enough numbers to remove my ammonia at ph of 6.0.
I removed driftwood on friday and did siphoning and a 30% water changed and raised my Ph to 7.0.
Checked today and Ammonia is a 0 and ph is stable at 6.8
This goes to show that ammonia is not always caused by poor husbandry techniques!! Tis case was caused by rottting driftwood!!!
