UV probably doesn't affect the copper itself, but breaks down the ions or chelating agent binding it.

True, seachem states that UV will break down the protein binding the copper which will release much more free copper ions making it highly toxic.

I did two 50gal water change in two day
My amnoina is still high? What will be the cause

 

[jinbing0905]

Why so high

 

[aykwm]

Don't use a test kit to test ammonia, medication will mess up the reading.
Use seachem ammonia badge, the reading are not affected by medication.

Should read it pretty quick

 

[dh350twin]

Also I am running all the same medications as the OP and my API test shows no trace of ammonia.

I still suggest another water change just in case. But maybe wait until tomorrow if you have done one for two days in a row

 

[aykwm]

If its still fresh out of the pack it might need a day or two to start reading properly. After that it should keep tracking continuously

Why does tank have a lots of bubble On the top? Because of amnoina?

You should be able to read it within an hour. If it shows anything but yellow, do a water change. You may need to use a bright white light directly behind or above the badge to read it correctly. That is usually only a problem in poorly lit rooms.

Depending on which meds are currently in the tank, they can sometimes cause the tank to be a bit "foamy" when strongly agitated which is the reason your skimmer will go absolutely NUTS if left on while dosing medications like prazipro in the tank. That might be the reason for this, but since I dont' know your tank I can't say with any confidence if that's the actual issue.

It looks like you left the little plastic film on the disc, you need to remove that for the meter to read correctly.
