all right it's been quite sometime since I moved my aquarium and still
the ammonia is fluctuating between .25 and zero. In fact I have only
seen a reading of 0 twice. After not feeding for 3 days. What do I do
now. I have a 75 gal aquarium w/ 75lbs of live rock. It has a sump
with a berlin skimmer and a heater and a return pump. I have two
oscillating pumps in the main tank as well as the return. I have taken
out all of the crushed coral per Ron and Shane. What do I do now. I
have a sailfin tang, a mandarine goby, 2 scarlet shrimp, 2 fire shrimp,
and 1 banded starfish. I feed once a day about 1/3 to 1/2 of a block of
formula 1 or 2. What can I do to reduce the ammonia or build up the
denitrifying bacteria. The temp is 78, ph is 8.2, ammonia is .25,
nitrite is 0, nitrate is about 20, calcium is about 350-375, and dkh is
9.8. Any help would be appreciated. Should I get more live rock maybe
I don't have enough. The live rock is fiji and there is not a lot of
sponges on it. I have recently started getting some algae so I have
changed my bulb in the normal output fixture. I changed it because the
tank has been up and running for about 1 year now. I did move it after
about 6 months to my new house. Even if the rock dried out over four or
five hours would it not be back to normal after four months. I don't
have a clue what to do anymore.
