I had a little crisis last night, I had an ammonia spike that I noticed around midnight when my cleaner and flame angel were acting funny. I needed to do a good size water change they were really not doing well, but I dont have a RO/DI unit (yeah thats next on the list of things to buy).
So I used tap water I do have well water and its not THAT bad, but definantly not good either. I had a reading today of .47 TDS and .3 copper in my well water. So after a 50% water change, my tank is probably somewhere below that level.
Anyways, will prime water conditioner help to remove these? What are my options? I went and bought 10g of RO from the LFS, so I could do more water changes but the girl at the LFS (at CRA) told me not to yet, and just do really small ones every couple days.
I would love to be able to just buy a product and for it to be mostly gone so my corals dont start all dieing. My xenia has already started to die
