I think that would take more than 1/3 changes for quite a while. :)

On the original thread, after another 1/3 today I'm down to 0.2 NH3 and
7.0pH and the GH is down to 10 so it's all heading in the right direction.
The little fellas are acting a lot more "normally" today and the tank just
looks better. The water's more sparkling for want of a better phrase.

I'm gonna put some salt in tonight now I'm happier with the amount and I'll
do more changes until the NH3 comes down to "less". I don't expect it to go
away completely just yet as the tank's still cycling (it's only a week old).

Many thanks to everyone who replied. I'll report back when there's something
to report. :)
