Hi.
I have a new nano a couple of months old. I’ve recently added a few new fish (about 5) all little fish to a stable Cpl mths old brand new Red Sea nano max tank. It’s been roughly 1 week & I today read my seneye to find Ammonia spiked from stable NH3 from 0.001 to today 0.030 & over the last few hours only spiking quickly to 0.030 then 0.038 now 0.045. I’m guessing it’s on its way up & isn’t going to stop. I have live rock, live sand added 1 mth ago to bare bottom in beginning & a small bag of media placed under the skimmer. It looks like I’ve added to many fish in 1 go & im wanting to know if there’s anything I can do now immediately to lower of stop the spike without having to take some fish out temporarily. I now have a black clown, 1 yellow watchman goby, a new pink spotted goby, a new pyjama fish, new clown goby, chocolate goby, new lawnmower sand sifter and a tiny chromis. 2 young mandarin fish and a small cucumber. 2 shrimp with the 2 watchman goby’s. Maybe too much for a nano. I’ve a 4 ft tank as well I could put the pink spotted watchman into but doubt I could find his tiny shrimp.
Help how can I stop this spiking any further!!
