I apologize for the inconvenience but the board appears to be acting up and I can't read your thread.  Is there any way you could re-post it?

Hey Mike,
If you want, you can just copy/paste your posts that you made at GAB.  If not, then I understand and I will keep talking to you via e-mail and phone like we did today.  I am sorry for the board being down and us not being able to help you.  I did tell Kaida that you and I have been speaking and that I will fill her in on the situation as I know it and what all we have discussed.

I'm having the same problem.

Did you ever figure out what caused it?

I think my ph might be a little low causing ammonia buildup.

Thought I could keep the ph the same for all my water needs....

I also had some good green alge going on but then it started to turn a little teal-ish.

Thank you

In order for us to help you, you need to fill out all the required questions found in the stickie here in the clinic and start your own thread.  Low pH does not build up ammonia.  If you are showing ammonia, then your tanks are not cycled.  Also, low pH can cause death in a fish.
