Hi guys,
I upgraded a newly cycled 200L tank to a 500L system two days ago, I noticed this evening that my ammonia was above 0 (0.2ppm) and that my two clowns were exhibiting some stressful behavior (mainly swimming erratically (both still eating)) . All material from the original tank was moved to the new tank including the sand, I added some bacter gen m after the tank transfer was complete and have added some each day since. The other parameters I tested are;
Ammonia: 0.2ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 2ppm
Temp: 26C
PH: 8.2
Salinity: 1.022 (Lower than it was in my original tank (1.025)?)
How worried should I be? There's just the two clowns in the tank right now. Any advice is hugely appreciated.
