Okay, so I have (had) a 150 stocked with the following:
2” yellow tang
2” hippo yang
6” gem tang
3” Kole tang
2” clown tang
6 clownfish
5 green chromis
4” foxface
Royal gramma
Mandarin goby
And about 15-20 different types of coral
I had fed corals and fed heavily the day before yesterday so I tested the tank yesterday and the ammonia was .23 so I did a small water change and retested and it was at zero. We left the house while we had someone clean it and when we came back all the fish were on their side breathing heavy and the first thing I did was test water. The ammonia was at a 4.0. I immediately did a 75% water change and all fish but the gem, yellow, goby, 4 clowns and the chromis survived. This morning I wake up to all the corals expelling zooxanthelle and shriveled up. All fish are fine and then at around 1:30 today all fish are back breathing heavy. I test the water and ammonia is at .28. I treated with prime because my water isn’t ready enough to do water change. (my RODI is kinda slow and I put it to refill around 8am.)
Come to find out a jug of bleach was spilled in the room the tank was in. Could the large amount of bleach in the air cause the tank to spike like this?
It’s currently 3pm and all my fish are barely hanging on and I’m fully expecting to lose everything today corals included.
Is there anything I could do or should I just hang it up?
Thanks in advance
