raeh1 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 started moving the stock in today. corals but not anemones and starfish and clam. ammonia 1.0 nitrite 1.0 nitrate 80ppm will this kill any live stock. I'm not sure how to reduce them in a hurry. cheers ru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 The levels seem high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Most corals will be OK but no fish yet, not fatal for fish immediately at this level but dodgy over an extended period.! What's happening you starting a new tank or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raeh1 Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 some live rock didn't enjoy the move midnight trip to the beach for another 100 litres :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Still find it hard to believe that levels would go that high, i doubt the live rock will cause high levels, Sure bacteria will die but unlikly it will cause ammonia in a few day. Did you add new water after the move or during the move? How long since the move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tHEcONCH Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Water changes, water changes, or water changes - any of those three things will fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
