How many times have you used to ammo? With our first tank my husband used
it and it seemed to cause a false positive with our test kit for ammonia.
After we stopped using it and tested the water again about a week later it
was fine.

I think that as long as your nitrites are low or negative the fish should be
fine.

I only used the ammonia neutralizer once, several weeks ago, and have since
performed numerous water changes. Therefore, I would have thought that any
false positive readings would have been done by now.

I'll keep monitoring and hoping for the best.

Thanks.
