SRC Member colinsoon Posted June 15, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 15, 2006 not to be a wet blanket, but i think it takes a few days for the fishes to react, if there is anything that is gonna happen. i mean thats for me, cos i got nothing to test ammonia, so when i realised ammonia was like spiking realy bad, its already too late... for you i dun think there is anything to worry. juz monitor the ammonia bro. cos there might be some debris trapped in some corners that might really contribute to the A.

SRC Member Tigger Posted June 15, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 15, 2006 I have a similar experience during my early reefing days. Anemone gone missing(melted). My skimmer skims like mad but no crash. Increase aeration should help to breakdown NH4 more faster. Nowadays no more anemone for me. All the best.
