This is hopefully nothing but I just wanted to check with you guys.
A starfish died and it's thrown my params out of wack. My new RBTA has shrunk to about a 1/4 of its normal size. Checked params yesterday they were some of the best I'd had, but today:
Nirite = 0.2 mg/l (ppm)
Nitrate = 5-10 mg/l (ppm)
Amm still 0 thankfully!
I've just done a 20% wc (thank god I picked up some new water today!) and I have removed all I could of the starfishes remains. The RBTA does seem to be perking up slightly and the mouth is still tight.
Will he be ok? Is there anything else I could do to help?
Sorry if I'm over-reacting... this is just my first tank emergancy and I love my new RBTA!
Thanks for any advice.
