Anyways , although the ammonia is permanently high it has dropped to around 5ppm ish (a guess from the color of the test) , I think that the reason why I was reading 15 - 20 is because I would test after I noticed a hermit crab or snail had died . I dont think that ammonia was the cause of the deaths anymore but instead a mixture of two different sources . For the corals (as i said in the first post) the constent changes of alkalinity probably ends up killing the lps , my soft corals on the other hand , are thriving . And for the fish , like you suggested Brandon , I think its some sort of intestinal worm . I have seen all of the fish I've owned up to this point poop out a long white strand of what I thought was poop , but recently I learned that poop shouldn't look like that at all . Also my mom said that she saw a "long white worm" which was probably one of these infected poops that was freefloating in the water .For the ammonia it wont let me insert photos for some reason but there are red slime patches that we can remove and weird algaes growing in weird spots .</p></blockquote><p></p>
