  1. one of those 6 of 1 or 1/2 a dozen of another things personally i do water changes to reduce the ammonia level i feel too much ammonia kills your bacteria that have built up the idea of cycling is to achieve a balance between waste and bacteria i have tried many ways of cycling and just like to keep it as simple as possible now and wait with a marine system.... and wait.....and wait

  19. just let it cool naturally or do small changes then do water changes once at right temp once fish have gone through an extreme of water parameters adjustments need to be slow to avoid adding further stress you will always lose some as alan said, natural selection takes over
  20. the high heat may also have contributed to a lack of oxygen in the tank which in turn may have caused some die off in gill membrane there are many variables that will have come into play but shock to the fishes system will be the biggest you will just have to wait it out one consolation could be what is left may be hardy
