Fish Tank Ammonia - How to fix it right now (SIMPLE)

PSA*** KEV of Kaveman Aquatics is one of the best fishtubers around. My man has some of the best content out there. He is extremely articulate and explains things so clearly you can't go wrong following his advice. Just watch a couple vids and I promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you for all your hard work Kev, you are the MAN!!!!! Or KAVEMAN specifically. Everyone else like and share, not only helps my man here, but you will be doing a great service to anyone with their tanks!!!

As a retired former educator, your grasp of your FIELD OF INTEREST/CONCERN IS BOTH" EXPERTISE & TENACIOUS" respectively; and your PERSONAL DEMEANOR WOULD MAKE YOU AN EXCELLENT TEACHER IN ANY AREA OF CONCENTRATION THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ! Your videos are SUPERB.

I want to tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whether you read this or not, I’m not sure. But you saved my fishes life. My ammonia went sky high after a PetSmart employee told me to get rid of my filter while treating for Ich in my tank. He didn’t tell me to just remove the carbon, he said “Throw your filter out. When you are done treating Ich, replace with a new one.” That put my tank at deathly high ammonia. One of my fish (a dwarf gourami who has always been a happy fish) quickly started declining and he was stressed, extremely sick, and I didn’t think he would live. I found out that I needed to put a filter back in my tank, and followed your steps exactly. Did 80% water change with prime and stability. I will continue adding those until no ammonia shows. THANK YOU so so much for saving my fish. My gourami is happily swimming again. My other fish are definitely looking happier now too. You are so awesome and I will spread your name to every person who is interested in getting fish, or just simply need help.

The other week I let my toddler and one of his friends feed my angel and they legit jumped a handful of food into the tank. I didnt realise this would turn tp ammonia, hes my first fish. A hobby group told me it was likely ammonia poisoning and thats when it clicked. I did this for his tank tonight but I'm worried it's going to be too late for him He hasnt eaten for 5 days. Hoping for the best. Anyway, thank you for this video because ita the first confident move I've made since I noticed he was sick 🙏

I got a tank for the first time less than 2 weeks ago - I got a lot of fish and put them in after a 7 day tank prep and now I have high ammonia n nitrite - everything you said even the cleaning is all mistakes I’ve done 😢 was only tryna make sure I was doing everything right but so much to learn. No fish are dead yet so I can hop fully turn it around

Im a first time fish owner. This video saved my betta fish's life! Thank you so much!

I’m part of the reason why this video was made!!!! Oh I did everything he said and boom ammonia spike fixed! Let’s Goo Kev is the real deal!!!!

Kev thanks a million for this video. I took an ammonia spike when I added a new Oscar to my tank. My buddy was moving and had to get rid of his 5 yo Oscar (about 7”). It totally jacked my tank I’m gonna try this method and pray. Thank again brother. Be well

You’re a wizard Kev

Kaveman Aquatics > cup of coffee. Lets goo!!💪

THANK YOU!! This is a bit embarrassing, but I struggled as a new tank owner with ammonia for 7 months straight!!! There was no light at the end of the tunnel...until I found this video! With this method it took me about a month, but I could steadily see the ammonia levels drop a little each week. I also started a new tank with this method at it was an amazing difference starting with your tips, rather than playing catch up. This video is truly the BEST on this subject matter!

You saved my fish! I tried everything, before I found your YouTube page. I bought API ammo-lock, and then bought nitra-zorb. Nothing lowered my ammonia, until I found you. I did exactly what you said and now my ammonia is gone! Before I found your page, I tried for a whole month to get rid of the ammonia. By following your instructions, I got rid of it in a week! Thank you so much!

Very straight , just what I needed. Subscribed❤

Hey Kev, greetings from Singapore 🇸🇬. I just did my water change(probably more than 80%) which then affected my oscar fish. He was stressed out, lying sideways. After watching your video and introducing the Prime and Stability to the tank. He’s all healthy and back to normal now. Thank you for the video. God bless

One of the best explanation video that clearly makes the link between ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, and gives a clear path to follow for any beginner and professional. Thank you for so many well explained tips. Short and concise, well done.

You are so great at explaining how to properly take care of a tank. Thank you 🙏 great videos

I used to when I had a 76 gallon tank, used to on weekends, go through the vacuuming of the substrate, and clean the filters, just a rinse, and leave bilogical media alone other than rinse, and things were great for a long time, natural plants and all..... tested water once a week after filtering and cleaning had time to clear up, and then all of a sudden, and was careful of it, but had a natural log thing for the little guys to use, but all of a sudden, looked in after work one day and water is yellowish, and total effing snail outbreak everywhere. Had to find as many snails as I could, scrap the log, 80 percent water change, lost a couple of fish, but saved most.... man, I was religious about getting rid of the little pond like snails, But damn, that happened so quick. Took a couple weeks of close attention, closer than usual, but all got better, but was a bugger.

So I am one of those noobs who got a tank, filled it, put in chemicals and then the fish. I've had so many deaths because the ammonia was just up the wazoo. Just had two more fishies pass - my electric green glowfish cories. Found your videos by chance and after watching several, just started the Seachem prime/stabilizer treatment. Fingers crossed that it works. Following instructions to the tee. Thank you for making these wonderful videos.

Hey man just wanted to take a second to thank you for making these videos. What I've seen is the majority of other YouTubers make every video into a long drawn out explanation of anything and everything besides the title of the video. So thank you for getting to the point.

I subscribed to the channel on this video alone!! - Straight to the point
