i have a 20H and i have currently 20 lbs of LS and 6 lbs of LR until friday when i get paid i can buy some more!!!! yay!!! well my question is that i have had an ammonia spike after i found a hermit crab on my piece of LR i brought home the other day. since it is a new tank should i let it go and will it take care of itself and slowly reduce or do i need to do a water change? this is my first tank and it has been set up for one week today. i appreciate you answers in advance!!

I'd do some water changes if the ammonia was particularly high. What's the reading?
