At the fish store they were having a sale so I bought some GSPs and a tree leather i think its called. I also added a baseball size mass of chaeto algae and a pound of live rock to fasten it to. Now when I tested my water before I got them all readings were good accept nitrate which is always 20. It's been 2 days after everything was added and neither corals have opened up. The part that puzzles me is how my ammonia is at 1 ppm! nitrite and nitrate are 0 and 20. I keep the SG at 1.025 temp at 78-80. I have a 35 watt compact fluorescent bulb over them.
Seeing the ammonia reading i quickly did a 20% water change and still have to re-test it. What can i do to ensure they open up and live?
