So i picked up a mature, running tank friday afternoon, and had it set up friday night.
I did everything in my power and knowledge to keep the life inside alive. I kept all the rock wet, I threw out the old sand, and placed in new dry sand, and kept about 15 percent of the old water to place in.
It was in the mid twenties outside, so I am sure my temps dropped from 78 to 70 or so during the move. Nothing more I could do other than wait til spring.
It has been 48 hours since I had everything running and fish, coral in, and tonight when I tested with API ammonia liquid test, it read .25.
The fish seem fine, no gasping, laboring, etc, and the corals, which include a rose bubbletip aneneome, xenia, leathers and musrooms, look fine.
Heck, even the coral bandit and blood shrimp, along with misc. clean up crew are active.
Would you be alarmed, or would you assume if the livestock is fine, the test in giving me a false positive?
