Since I have started using Rotigreen Omega for green water I have had an Ammonia issue.
Here is mine from one of my larvae tanks this morning.

 

 
Looks to be in the 1.5PPM range. What are you techniques/treatments to reduce ammonia?

I use ClorAm-X, added at the same time. I mix 1/3 cup of ClorAm-X to enough RO water to make 1L for a stock solution.

Is ClorAm-X better than Prime? Also, what is your Ammonia readings?

A detailed discussion of the ratio of ClorAm-X to various Reed Mariculture products can be found here:  http://www.mbisite.org/Fo...8828&mpage=1#59560

If you are using ANY algal paste products, you must also use an anti ammonia product.  Ours or anyone elses paste products for that matter.  Only time you don't, is with RGcomplete or our soon to be released SDaquarist or RGreen (I think, I forget if RGreen is to have buffer & ClorAm-X)
