Yea I have test kits. Red seas. O attached this week's and lasts test numbers. I will do more tests today. Just did a pH and it was 8.1. I did I chimiclean treatment and they recommend adding an air stone. The air line got kinked at some point.

No skimmer, hence the air stone. Surface agitation?

Point a powerhead towards the surface of the tank so it just breaks the surface.

I have an amona badege and it look like 0 from the test but it needs 10 min.

no I don't really know. but there is likely a lack of o2 in the sys, and I dont know if the treatment would produce these symptoms, ot interrupt other processes in the tank.

yea that mak be the thing, i honestly dont know how that effect animals, it really shouldnt. keep pumping air in. and really shake up the new water first. Fresh mix may/will have much lower dissolved gasses.

I us added a second air pump from my fresh water tank. I now have a bubbly mess

How did you qt? Procedure used because you said you used copper and prazipro. Copper has to be slightly increased to needed level, then tested daily to make sure to be effective.

is it foamy? or just a lot of micro bubbles?

30 day QT. I first day rest. day 2-5 prazi.water change 50% start adding copper added small amount or 3 days until it was at the correct level. 14 days in copper. water change. then add prazi for 4 more days. then in the blue dip and in DT. This has been m process for all fish.
