For the emergency case, get one or two bottles of 500mL SEACHEM Prime water conditioner... Use up to 5 times normal dose for exceptionally high nitrite, chloramine and nitrate concentration.

I'm already using Prime and carbon. It only goes so far, which isn't very far at all, actually.

I've discovered that my Seachem Ammonia Alert is defective. I do in fact have an ammonia problem, and it killed my BTA, and now the tank is cloudy and smelly with gunk floating everywhere.

I'm continuing with water changes tonight and applying micron filtration.

I still need cycled bio-media.

Please, anyone? I'll pay. You don't have to be in Surrey, and the bio media could be anything, as long as it has a generous amount bacteria. Bio-balls, nylon scrub pads, foam, live rock, anything...
