Ammonia still rising! :(

So believe the 125 is going through a full blown cycle now that all corals have died.

Have been doing water changes but no help from that really to speak of.

Would adding bio-spira help?

Have been adding prime daily to detoxify all the stuff so my fish do not die. They all seem alright but not sure how long they can survive these levels of ammonia.

So bio-spira? Or any other options?

really do not want to lose my fish.... some of them have been with me for over 2yrs now!

 

You can try it but I would continue water changes and I would look to see if something else is dead in the tank causing the ammonia to keep going up.

 

Well I know there are a lot of snails I could not get out. And some of the xenia I could not access to get out.

I am just thinking if I added the bacteria the bacteria should eat all the bad stuff right? Thats how this works? hahah

I am just thinking along the lines of a new tank, the bacteria makes it so you do not have a cycle, so if I add it after a crash it should help speed the cycle up that I am currently having correct?

But seriously will keep doing water changes. Just thought this might help?

 

anyone else?

 

The live bacteria can not hurt...when I had my main issue a few months ago, I added live bacteria and I felt it really helped....but it could have been the water changes as well. I did buy another bottle of bacteria to keep on hand if I have issues again, so I have some faith that it helped. For what that is worth.....

 

Alright. Gonna do another water change tonight. Then add the bacteria.

 

A really good bacteria to look for is start smart for saltwater or microbelift. Never used biospira but I have always had amazing results with the others. Water changes and bacteria are your best friends. You could even add more cured live rock too.

 

Picked up some biospira today. See if it helps anything.

 

STOP USING PRIME!!!! IT CAN AND WILL STALL THE CYCLE.

 

can you relocate the fish until you get it under control?
