Hi there, a few days ago i transferred my 2 and a half year old 10 gallon tank with 2 clownfish and some corals and inverts into a 15 gallon. I transferred nearly all the water and nearly all the sand. I kept the same live rock, some biological filtration where the bacterial lives was lost but the majority i transferred over into my new tank. The only thing my new tank hasn't got is a refugium, which i didn't transfer over.
Today i have checked the water with text kits. My Nitrate is 0 but my ammonia is 0.25 according to API test kit. I did the ammonia test twice and its showing the same results. What can i do, i'm currently making some more salt water to preform a 10% water change. Should i go out and buy some bacteria to add to the tank?
Side note; would aqua scaping constriction epoxy cause this? As yesterday i had a disaster when trying to epoxy my rocks together. The tank got extremely cloudy. I haven't seen my clowns since.
Not had an ammonia spike like this before, could anyone please let me know how to solve this.
Thanks. Alfie.
