How can I prevent or manage an ammonia spike in a new tank?
To prevent or manage an ammonia spike in a new tank, you can start by cycling the tank properly before adding fish. This involves establishing beneficial bacteria that break down ammonia. You can also add live plants to help absorb ammonia, perform regular water changes, and avoid overfeeding your fish. Testing the water regularly for ammonia levels can help you catch any spikes early and take corrective action.
Can goldfish die from cleaning the tank to much?
Leaving a dead goldfish in your tank will boost ammonia levels.. You dont want ammonia in your tank. It rapidly kills fish
Since protein skimmers reduce ammonia building then beneficial bacteria would be reduced and thus would sudden removal of a protein skimmer result in ammonia spike?
As long as your tank is established and is full of live rock and sand, there should be no spike. You rely mostly on rock and sand for filtering. Skimmer adds aeration and removes gunk but that gunk would hopefully be broken down safely by your rock if it wasn't for the skimmer. Skimmers are great for aerating water and removing proteins, keep it in if you can.
How does a turtle tank look with salmonela?
-It looks like a regular tank, if your worried about the smell its most likely the ammonia.

Ammonia
What ammonia levels should you expect while cycling your tank?
They can vary tremendously. Keep up the cycling until the reading is zero Ammonia and zero Nitrite.
Can ammonia cleaning solutions kill fish?
Ammonia is harmful to fish. Its is a by product of the nitrogen cycle, which is what keeps the water stable in your tank(i wont delve into that) but yes ammonia can burn fish, especially those who lack scale's.
Will a plecostamus live with no algae in fish tank?
No. What happens in a fish tank is that ammonia is produced from the fish's waste (it is excreted through the gills, and their poo and uneaten food rapidly breaks down into ammonia). Plecos, by the way, are very messy fish. There is no way to prevent this from happening, and ammonia is extremely toxic to fish, even in tiny amounts. So the ammonia needs to be removed. The bacteria that change the ammonia into non toxic substances live in the filter, so without a filtration system the ammonia in the tank will build up and build up, killing the fish very fast. In order to sufficiently dilute the ammonia without a filter, you would have to do huge water changes several times a day, and in the sort of tank (100 gallons) required to support a fish as big as a plecostomus, this would be logistically impossible.
Will a betta fish die if the water in the tank is not filtrated?
Betta are airbreathers. So long as the ammonia and nitrates are okay, you don't need filters on a Betta tank.
Can the smell of a turtle tank make you sick?
