Kh 8.7
Mg 1520
Ca 420
pH 8.0 to 8.1
Ammonia .25ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 0 to 5.0ppm
Phosphate 0 to .25

Just tested and this is what I got. Also I do a 10 gallon water change every week on the tank and clean the sand up some. And thanks here's some of the stuff doing good.

Has or is something dying? You should have 0 ammonia. I'd start looking for dead corals or animals to find your source of ammonia.

 

[Dcrowejr]

No fish just all my SPS and then I lost two anemones. But I pull them out before there mush to keep the from going everywhere

 

[ScottMyers123]

You need to find your source of ammonia and go from there. Other then that have you changed anything recently (lighting, dosing, etc...)?

 

[Kershaw]

+1 ammonia is the cause of loosing coral. But something must have happens to cause the ammonia

 

[Dcrowejr]

I started feeding LRS food other then that I have not done anything different. No dosing same lighting since they have been in the tank. Same maintenance 10 gallons a week and 15 gallons one week about every two months other then that nothing new.

You can try adding prime to detoxify the ammonia. But I would do another water change to bring Down that ammonia. Couldn't hurt to test your water you use for water changes

 

[Dcrowejr]

Can the rock leach ammonia into the water I never cycled the rock or cleaned it I bought it dry and after about a month of cycle everything read good so did a 50% water change and started adding stuff and for about the past 4 or 5 months it has read .25ppm ammonia and about a month ago is when I started looseing everything all my SPS and then the past two weeks I lost two anemones two days apart but took them out before they died fully.

 

[ScottMyers123]

How long has the rock been in the tank?

 

[Dcrowejr]

My apartment water has no ammonia in it as it has been test for freshwater tanks. But I'll do another test on it tomorrow to find out what's coming out of the rodi system.

 

[Kershaw]

Try testing after you mix salt. What test kit are you using. Maybe bring water sample in to lfs

 

[Kershaw]

Also what's holding your rock together. Maybe something leaching

 

[Dcrowejr]

The tank has been up since September of last year and the lfs gets the same readings I do and I use the API test kit and it's good tell 2018. And I'll check after I make up salt for the tank.

 

[Dcrowejr]

The rock is held by fiberglass rod and a paving stone at the base of it

 

[Kershaw]

Ok sometimes I get false positives with Api ammonia. I would try another brand.

Agree on your ammonia, Po4 is on the high side as well.
You measure between 0 and 0.25 is a big difference from being successful to a crashing tank.
