Hey all,
This tank has been up for 1+ year and its been doing great with SPS, LPS etc. Today I had 1 sps peel out and I thought maybe it was the new carbon I changed out, went to rent out a par meter to make sure had them test the water just for ***** and giggles as I test it myself x2 weekly for NO3/PO4. Long story short the tested there came back with Ammonia of 3!!!!!
This last weekend I replaced my sump and everything had been looking good up to this point I just did a test myself with red sea ammonia and indeed it is 2+ I added a medium bottle of TurboStart 900 but I am at a loss here. Havent lost fish yet only a cleaner shrimp, emerald crab which have all been removed from tank.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated as I really dont want to loose everything I have in there.
When sump was replaced I did not reuse the same water due to detritus at bottom none was disturbed. Also had no rocks removed from tank,
Total water volume is 55ish gallons
Thanks,
Dave
