So as the title states please berate me for my stupidity.
So i have a 150L tank and its about 6 months old.
So for the last few weeks ive had trace nitrites and they've not going down, so LFS suggested i put some more rocks in. I however have no more space.
So like any logical person would do i bought new rocks and assembled them together. However i decided to add the new rocks and remove the old ones... see where this is going?
So for the last week i have been battling ammonia as ive essentially been doing a cycle with 6 fish in tank (ammonia out of the wazoo) all my fish are alive and i think secretly judging me but happy enough thankfully
My anemone has disliked it so much that he killed himself inside the powerhead (my own fault for not having a guard) but he got his own back because he clogged one of the return pumps something rotten.
I've put carbon in filters and did a water change last night and thw water is clearing visually now 24hrs later.
Ammonia is still 0.5ppm at the moment but has come down from the initial 1.5ppm on monday after putting 4 full 500ml bottles of microbactor7 over 6 days. Abit excessive? Maybe (not sure if negative effecrather than positive if i add to much)
So after all said and done is there anything that i need to watch for or care to etc from your experience (ive never had an anemone shred before as its my first one ever)
