ny3papi Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Well my tank has been runnin smoth for a while but today when i tested my water i saw a slight rise in amonia and nitrates , before everything was at zero , what could be the cause of this? i added live sand like about 2 weeks ago would this creat a small cycle?i assumed the live sand would take care of the amonia and nitrates, by the way i have a 20 h with 1 fish only which gets fed twice a day and some snails.

nalbar Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 it could be the sand but two weeks seems a long time to still be getting ammonia from sand. its possible something in your rock you never even knew you had has died. sponge or a cucumber. a sponge is ALWAYS my first guess on this type of stuff. mainly cause they dont like captivity and can die months after a tank is set up or come on a coral and then die. about all you can do is water changes so ammonia does not get so bad as to hurt your animals. nalbar Link to comment
obarrera Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I would feed your fish once a day. Link to comment
