Something is very screwy with either my system or my test kit.
My neibors kid was over doing my water testing and either my test kit is shot or something is really wrong with my system. Ammonia and nitrates are off the scale high, but all the corals look fine and no fish are missing. The shrimp,starfish, and everything else seems to be fine as well that I could see. But its not unusual for me not to see things for a week or two. haven't been able to locate the new kit I bought. I know its around here somewhere. Could anything mundane spike tests like that. I just added 300 gallons of new water to the system, and just finished all the plumbing.. maybe something in the pipe glue or spray foam if I didn't wait for it to cure long enough?.
Gonna have to give up and take the stupid stop shaking pills so I can retest tonight I guess. I'm of course currently completely out of salt at the moment as well. I swear this always happens when I have a shipment of fish or corals showing up the next day.
