Hi all. I am a complete newbie to the saltwater aquarium hobby. I had to rush home to a sick family member the other day and have come back to a lump of rotting pellet food and some serious brown and green detritus everywhere. I am not able to get to my LFS to get some ro and was wondering if filtered tap water to remove chlorine etc will work as a temporary measure. I haven't yet tested the nitrates etc yet. There is also evidence that the hermits have shed their exoskeleton, possibly due to the water quality. How much of a change should I do and how often?
Hope someone can shed some light onto this as I am keen to make my aquarium a happy little place for all of my stock. Thanks in advance
