Recently had a huge leak in our 90 gal reef which forced us to upgrade sooner than expected .
The upgrade being a 230 gal with a 48 gal sump .
Mistake #1 I added some of the old sand assuming it would be beneficial to have a little bacteria ..
I was wrong .
Nuked the whole tank killing all fish .
So moving forward , there are still corals alive
Will a bottle (suitable for the volume ) of nitrifying bacteria a good idea ?
ammonia levels are 1ppm with API kit .
