I live in Spring. I just tested my tap water for ammonia and it was a sky high 2ppm. I had no idea it was that high. Thats like a uncycled tank. I think everyone should test their tap water for ammonia. Test your's and post it here.

That's crazy!
Just tested ours. It's between 0 and .25, much closer to 0 though. Plus, they're kind of old test strips, so...
That sucks, John. Yikes."Millennium hand and shrimp!"Comment

carbon will remove that right???250gallon-Wild Angels, communityComment

Generally no. Carbon removes "organic" chemicals as well as things like chlorine. Many other chemicals are not attracted to carbon, i.e. nitrates.
If your tank is cycled you will be ok.
Also, wet/drys are better filters to convert ammonia to nitrites, then to nitrates.
Canisters can do...but it's going to take longer.I ate my fish that died.

What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
