Ammonia = 0
Nitrites = 3ppm
Nitrates = 150ppm
fish are happier now they have lived through the ammonia spike. Two downsides occurred - I lost one blue green chromis and my Blue Tang got super stressed in the process and has white spots. Hard to say if it is full on Ich yet (spots can be temporary for a day or two) but that is the obvious hunch.
I have a huge UV sterilizer that I have been waiting to turn on. What is the latest science (or informed opinions) on when to turn on UV? Bacteria lives on the rock substrate, so nothing in the water column should matter right?
