Hello,
I started my tank a week and a half ago. At the advice of the LFS, I added a clownfish right away with a bottle of Bio Spira. The Clown did not survive the night, thread here.
Have been checking my water parameters and ghost feeding daily, results are below. Wanted to get thoughts regarding the status of my cycle. To me, it appears like the bottled bacteria did the trick, but I don't to kill another fish either.
Any thoughts on the PH? I know it's lower than generally recommended, but can fish and corals do OK in this PH?
Number are in part per million.
Thanks,
Jib
