I put an ammonia alert on my tank and it's reading around 0.25.
I just ran parameter tests and got back some weird values, mindful that right now I'm waiting for my better test kit to come in, I unknowingly got API before I read that they're not super reliable.
Ammonia: 0.5
Nitrates: 0 ?? (they were 20 a couple days ago)
Nitrites: 0
These were the only values I tested as I wanted to confirm the ammonia alert tag I have in the tank. All the fish are doing great, clowns are swimming around and eating and the duncan is fully open, wider than ever. And the water doesn't look cloudy to me.
I did recently start feeding frozen and the reef roids that I'm spot feeding with are also new in the aquarium.
Should I run the water to the LFS to test, wait it out for new test kits to come in and chalk these results up to API, or do a water change? I have my quarantine tank coming in today that I'm going to set up, so I can also move things around but def don't want to over react.
Thanks in advance!
Tank was cycled for 7 months with hermit crabs and formula one pellets, clowns were added 2 weeks ago.
