Ammonia Spike!!!! So I just tested my water and of course, Ammonia Spike. I can't seem to understand why this is happening.
A few changes I have made but shouldn't cause this issue are:
Added a Protein Skimmers - Runs only during the day - Reef Octopus 1000 Classic HOB
New RODI system
SYSTEM:
8 month old tank
HOB Aqua Clear - Media Metrix and Sponge
HOB Protein Skimmer
Powerheads
NO sump
ALL CORALS SEEM TO BE FINE - they are fully open and look very healthy.
All other water test come out to be within normal ranges.. I am sure why my ammonia has spiked.
The only thing I can think of -
Maybe some snails died?
OR
The water that sits in the Protein Skimmers over night get re pumped into the tank and thats causing the Ammonia Spike?
If anyone can help please let me know what I am doing wrong
