Glad I removed that anemone!

So I got a carpet anemone 3 weeks ago and he hasn't been doing so hot ever sense. Water parameters have been staying in check throughout. Yesterday before work I noticed he was looking extra sick so I removed him and put him in a hospital tank. Lord, am I thankful I did that. This morning when I got him the hospital tank was solid white. I checked the water parameters in that tank before I tossed the water just out of curiosity. Here is what I found.

Ammonia: 4.0 ppm
Nitrate: 160 ppm
Nitrite: 1.0 ppm

Thank goodness I removed him and didn't risk loosing a 55 gallon tank.

Current water parameters i display tank:

Ammonia: 0.25
Nitrate: 20
Nitrite: 0
Temperature: 78F
PH: 8.0
Calcium: 460
KH: 196.9
Phosphate: 0
Salinity: 1.025

Is the ammonia in the display from the nem or is it a fairly new tank?

I assume from the nem, everything has been fine... as a matter of fact I just checked all the parameters 3 days ago and everything was great but I noticed the anemone acting extra weird yesterday so I isolated him.

Tank is almost a year old
