Aquarium Advice Apprentice
OK help me out. My tank has been set up for about two months and Fallow. I cycled the tank with a raw shrimp from the store. The tank was going great with lots of pod growth
Last week my parameters were solid: NH3=0, NO2=0, NO3=5-10ppm, PO=0. Then all of a sudden last night I have a NH3 spike and my NO3 are 0. What the heck?
The only thing that has changed was I added new PC bulbs. I have a pretty good datom bloom in my fuge and even in the tank, and some good alge growth on my rocks. I can figure out what is happening.
I am concerned since I have inverts arriving tomorrow.
TANK MAKEUP
75 gallon with 130lb LR. 3-4" (80lb+) LS.
40G sump with LR rubble, and fuge with Cheato and a DSB.
Thoughts?
