Reef Chemistry Question of the Day #12
While ammonia is not generally a problem in established reef aquaria, it can be a problem in both shipping of organisms, and in the early stages of an aquarium.
What is it about shipping fish that could make 1 ppm total ammonia less toxic than it would be to those same fish in 1 ppm total ammonia in the aquarium itself? Assume that the fish are exposed to the ammonia for the same period of time.
Happy Reefing.
