Bruce,

There is a way to reduce the amount of un-ionized ammonia, which is by lowering the Ph. If you do it slowly and your alkalinity is not low it's pretty safe. I did this during the summer in my aqaponics system outdoors to allow maximum uptake of nutrients to my tomatoe plants. My Ph is normally in the mid 8 range and by adding small amounts of muriatic acid to a five gallon bucket, and then my clarifier tank, I was able to drop my Ph in the 6.8 to 7.0 range.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
