Help!!! Ammonia!!! New cycle!!! New fish!!!
Hi, have bought two new fish and have put them in QT, well more like just isolation as there is live rock in it.
Tank has been going for 4 weeks with no issues and put new clown pair in there...very guilty of overfeeding on Friday night...they just seemed so hungry.
Dissolved mysis shrimp cubes n the water and they went wild eating them.
Any way woke up Saturday morning to a cloudy tank..water test...high ammonia so did a 30% water change
Two hours later no real change did 100% and reacclimatised fish...all OK
Another 6 hours and ammonia creeping up so did 25% change
Still monitoring it...Nitrite 0, Nitrate 5, Ammonia just registering but find it hard to read ammonia tests (I'll start another thread on that)
Should I keep going the same way...ie monitor and big water changes?
