Any amount of ammonia is toxic to fish.
Glass tops on a SW tank is not the best idea. They prevent O2 exchange which helps keep your PH stable. Heaters are always a good idea to have running in your system . Do you check your water temp daily? What is it? What does it go down to at night?
You have been provided some very good suggestions. It sounds to me like your LFS is not as up-to-date with their information as they should be. Take the advice you have been given here and slow down some and start over. It will be much easier to do now rather then later.
Hi,
This is what I will do. I will leave the two clowns in and take all inverts out to LFS and hopefully they will accomodate them. Then I will wait to get the spike in ammonia and nitrite and then wait until they go down and nitrate start showing. I will add another 100 lbs of live rocks in the mean time. The temperature is 76 degrees during the day. At night I have no idea but the house is conditioned at 75 degrees all day long. Dai
