As I've talked to a few of you about, I got a 65 gal tank from another member not too long ago. It's been set up for going on 2 weeks, and the last couple days I've noticed an ammonia reading!!
The nitrates are at just about zero (just barely showing up),
nitrites are 0,
temp 77,
ph 8.3
salinity 1.022
alk 9
I am guessing that in the move something died in the LR/LS. The fish are all eating fine and acting normally. No signs of ich/tail rot/heavy breathing or anything.
From what I recall, when ammonia is present, it is a bad idea to do water changes? How long should I wait? Also, is there something I can add to the water? I have some Amquel - would that help? Can I just dump it right into the water (since I am not supposed to do a water change)?
Help! I have a BEAUTIFUL Picasso trigger (among other things) in there that I would just die if anything happened to him.
