Caryl Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Products advertised as reducing ammonia (like Ammolock) can give false test readings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice222 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 How long have you had fish in the tank before you got the ammonia reading though? And I don't know what OP bought, but I figure it's the type of stuff that would mess with ammonia readings, but as they got an ammonia reading BEFORE they put the stuff in, I don't think that was the problem. From what I know of Prime though, it doesn't remove ammonia, only detoxifies it, and doesn't mess with readings, most other ammonia locking/removing products do.
