So I had a big ammonia spike last week causing me to loose all but 2 of my fish. At first I thought I was having a mini cycle, but I'm not sure if it is that. My tank has been cloudy ever since and I have tried adding supplements to lower ammonia, and I've added a lot of beneficial bacteria, but it seems like it isn't really helping. I've added air stones for oxygen and increased my flow from my wave pumps. I've even added an aqua clear filter with more filtration to see if it would help. I have been removing more and more snails and crabs due to deaths and fear of them dying and increasing my ammonia even more. My corals are doing okay but they definitely seem to be affected. I have so much detritus and a lot of stuff in the water that is making the water look dirty. I am not sure what to do, I have one expensive fish (long fin clownfish) in the tank so I am thinking of starting a new mini tank so I can prevent more loss of fish.
I have another thread on my profile with pics of my tank and some other conversations about what is happening to my tank, if you would like to reference that.
But I am thinking of buying a 10 gallon tank from petco (current tank is 29 gallons) and buying live rock from a fish store and setting it up and have it cycled in a week or asap. Im thinking about moving all of my corals and my long fin clown into that tank and hoping they recover. Is this a good idea? or should I just keep battling the problems in my current tank? and try to fix my tank? any suggestions are welcome, let me know what you would do in my situation.
