The sand is caribsea (not sure I spelt that right) but it says it is live with bacteria. What do you think best corse of action is? Right now I’m planing on getting more bacteria to help with the ammonia and carbon as well would you say that’s a good start?looks great and really clean start. that sand, if wet before adding, was another 4.4 billion nitrifier cells as well...was that wet pack sand? even if not, clearly the live rocks are enough for day to day needs or the system would have fast-crashed due to lack of surface area/and or bac/fast when those fish were added.
If I was in your situation, I'd do a 100%-ish water change using RODI water, probably re-home the clowns, put the Prime away, maybe add some Dr. Tims, and wait. Test like once a week at most. Your API kit is fine if your aren't using a dechlorinator like Prime.
@Snarbleglarf Did you use prime (in the tank or at a WC) before you get your 2 ppm reading of NH3/NH4? I get it that way and as Sea Cheam says - it will give you a false reading. You have now get two opposite recomendations what to do before you have either confirmed or rejected your reading of 2 ppm NH3 / NH4 - just judge by your self what to do.
