 Ammonia Spike..can't get it down
I have a sudden spike of Ammonia (0.022ppm) and can't lower it. Tomorrow I'll be doing a major water change to see if it takes care of it. If not, what do you guys recommend.
I think I've pushed my bioload beyond the limit. I have a 46 Gal tank with these fish:
1 yellow tang, 1 sand sifting goby, 1 coral beauty, 1 pink skunk clown, 1 six line wrasse, 2 ocellaris clowns, 1 coral beauty.
And these inverts: 2 cleaner skunk shrimps, 9 Nassarius snails, 4 blue leg hermit crabs, 1 emeral crab, 2 sally feet crabs and 1 red foot conch.
Currently running carbon in canister filter, remora skimmer and UV sterelizer 24/7. I've been feeding everyday. If I can't get the ammonia to drop with the water and carbon change tomorrow, what do you guys recommend I do? How long can I go without feeding the fish without killing them.
I will also be adding Seachem's Purigen, Prime and Stability.
My fish are not showing signs of stress at all.
Thanks for the help.
