1 Nitrates
.03 PO4
The Dino's are looking more bubbly and stringy.
@billybatz9 You should be able to test for ammonia again and should have 0 by now if your bacteria necessary to cycle it is up to par. If you still have ammonia readings a polyfilter and GAC may be a good idea if your hermits died. Could be something else beside ammonia which is impacting some inverts and the bacteria necessary to process the ammonia.
Running a filter sock unmaintained I highly doubt would spike ammonia or cause any kind of rise in it. Nitrates could be increased by that but it's not nearly as toxic if at all in the levels indicated. |
Thanks for reply ! I will test again tomorrow morning (sleepy now)
I really dont know what it was that spiked the ammonia. Kinda weird. I use dr tims one and only live bacteria, fritz zyme 9, and ocean water for water changes, so I should have all sorts of bacteria to break it down.
