I have a small NH3 and NO2 spike in my 20 gal QT tank (~0.25 ppm NH3, ~0.5 NO2), currently holding an orange spot sleeper goby and a Bangaai Cardinal. I only have 3 gallons of ready to go mixed up saltwater on hand, left over from my weekly PWC yesterday. I doubt 3 gal is going to make that much of a difference and it will be ~24 hours before the next batch is ready to go.
I'm about to go down and do the 3 gal water change, but what else can I do before the new water is ready to go tomorrow? I have Amquel+ on hand, should I add some of that to neutralize the NH3/NO2, or is it best to wait it out until tomorrow?
I do not currently see any outward effects on the fish, no odd behavior, no rapid gilling, etc.
