I'm putting my DT through a fallow period, as of yesterday, and I am concerned with maintaining ammonia levels in the tank.
Tank now only has 7 Mexican turbo snails, and 3 cleaner shrimp. My plan was to maybe drop a squirt or two of mysis in the tank at night and feed the corals as usual.
Would it be more beneficial to use small doses of ammonium chloride instead, like using for initiating a cycle? Is it too much?
I'm out of my depth here, and I feel absolutely terrible about my fish crash. I thought I had taken all the right steps, and I feel like an absolute failure. Now I figure it's better to ask questions and sound like an idiot than assume I can figure it out on my own.
Any input? Advice? Ridicule?
Open to all of the above please.
