Hello again! Well, I did as instructed by some of the members and removed my fish. Since then, I have left the tank alone. It has been about 2 weeks now and my ammonia level has decreased right down to nothing as you all said it would. But as we all know ammonia turns into nitrate. So now my ammonia and PH are fine but my nitrate and nitrite are extremely high. Do I leave it and allow it to do it's thing, or do I start doing regular water changes?
As for the fish, my long-spine urchin eventually died, not due to the ammonia, but I had him in the tank where I work and my boss treated the tank with coppersafe:frustrat:. On a good note, now that the tank is cycling, my feather duster is growing it's plume back and at a remarkable rate. It doubled in a day! I look forward to putting fish in the tank again. Any further advice you can give is appreciated.
Thanks.
