Thanks Luna and best of wishes to you as well!
I would be more concerned that the ammonia has gone all the way up to 2.5, thats a pretty big spike for a 120 gallon tank to be caused by just a dead...
Well, your numbers look ok, and if everyone seems happy i would just try to wait it out. I would definitley hold back on the water changes unless...
+1, or is was thinking possible even a phyto bloom from the marine snow/phycopure
Well, how bad it will get and how long it will last will depend on a few different things. Exactly how big was the hippo? Do you have a good clean-up...
So is it safe to assume by your story that the hippo has died in there and is rotting, causing the spike?
Hmmm. Did you happen to dose anything that day? The first thing that came to mind is that maybe you had gotten the ca/mg/dkh balances out of whack...
You need to take the clowns back asap. Please, if your going to ask for advice, do not throw it out the window. As said before, you are going to need...
What about MG? The alk is pretty low, I would try getting that up first
Your ammonia will spike with a cycle. Thats what the cycle is. Next, it will start to drop as nitrites come up. Then those will start to drop as...
Man, I pay more than a lot of you guys just for my tap :(
+1 on it not looking good at all. Color is off as well. I personally would either move it to a QT tank, see if LFS will take it, or toss it at this...
It might speed up the cycle. But personally, IMO, I would never use that stuff. There's no telling what might be locked inside of it to only leach...
+1 on that. I would probably save up and get a new tank. When you start to add everything up, the tank itself is actually one of the cheapest pieces...
Cool stuff John! And hey, is it just me or does the blenny look nice and chubby again?!?!? ;D That's awesome, they are such great fish with awesome...
I REALLY want to be getting a squamosa in the future, too. Hope all goes well. If not, the clam would be the one to go
Well, did you just put the skimmer on not too long ago? If its doing its job, and theres less crud in the water to pull out, it would produce less...
You should, that way you can become one of the cool kids like us ;D
How exactly are the yellow tails going after the clowns? Are they chasing and nipping or actually fighting? It doesn't look like the clowns have been...
It looks like a very tasty yet deformed gummy bear to me
