I started my SW tank about a month ago. Everything was going great until about a week ago. I got 2 clownfish about a week and a half ago and aside from a few initial eating problems they were doing great. Over the last week or so the tank has been getting progressively cloudier. There was also a lot of dark brown stuff accumulating by my live rock. The ammonia levels spiked to .6 and Nitrite to .2. (Nitrate is 0) I know this is supposed to happen when you get new fish, but the water has me concerned. I thought one of my hermit crabs had died, and this was causing the problem...but I checked both of them tonight and they are fine. If it keeps getting worse I fear I could lose Gus and Buster (my roommates names for the two fish.)
Anyone have any ideas as to the cause of this, and how to fix it? Any suggestions would be wonderful! I want my tank to look clean again!! :?
Thanks
