Update everything is bouncing back. I lost most my hermits all my snails my starfish and all my mushroom coral. Most of my toad stools have opened back up. My lta lost all its tentacles but is open and starting to grow them back really sad. My bubble tips have opened back up gsp is starting to come back out. My levels on nitrate have climbed my ammonia is between 0-..25 I do need to dose pods a few times. All my fish are ok.

So I have had my tank set up for about a year and three months. And decided to clean all my equipment and do a partial water change. A mistake I’ll never forget as I bottomed out all my levels lost all my mushrooms and cuc. My LTA looks absolutely terrible. Over the course of the week I have added beneficial bacteria as my ammonia spiked almost to 4.0. Right now my parameters are 1.024 salinity 7.9 ph ammonia is like 0.25 0nitrate 0nitrite. I have turned off my skimmer and added carbon to my filtration. All the bristle worms have been coming to the surface stunned so I know I’m in rough shape. My toad stools are bent over even my Kenya tree is drooping and refusing to open. Is there any hope? Should I just leave it alone monitor parameters and pray it cycles? Or should I start looking for someone to take my live stock before it all dies. My bubble tips are really un happy but no where near as upset as my Long tentacle. My fish seem to all be fine with no strange activity.
