my tanks been a roller coaster of issues, high nutrients to flow issues to literally everything in the book and i guess it’s part of being in this hobby… anyways i’ve dealt with my fair share of high phosphates and nitrates and i’ve finally got them both down to a solid point my phosphates at 0.02 so i did a little more feeding then i usually do. I am unsure of my nitrates as i ran out of reagents. recently i just lost a scoly that really upset me and now ive lost an octofrogspawn out of nowhere and now my hollywood stunner chalice is flaking away. i think my tank doesn’t have enough nitrifying bacteria to eat all of the ammonia up and I feel like that’s due to me changing out my entire live rock about a month ago, i still have plenty of ceramic bio balls that have been cycling for over a year plus that sit in my sump. My tanks 5 months old now and im at a road block. I’ve been adding little bacteria slowly with every water change i’ve done for the past 3 weeks and i feel like nothings working.
magnesium: 1420ppm
calcium:
phosphates: 0.02ppm
nitrates: N/A
salinity: 1.024
temp: 78
nitrite: 54ppb
ammonia: 0.72ppm
i’m really concerned for my ammonia i’ve never seen it this high and i don’t know why.
my test kit that im using is the hanna 9 in one tester.
i have a small feeling that it was from when i added a sea cucumber a while back not knowing it probably wouldn’t survive and when moving my rocks i never seen it again and haven’t since and i don’t know if it died and caused a spike i don’t know…
