Did my weekly test of the water parameters and my ammonia has gone through the roof. From like 0 to 5ppm, a shade of green on the salifert that I have never seen before. I did an immediate 25% water change and plan to do another in another 2 days. I added some API quick start and before this did a Nitrite test. The nitrite came in at abot 1-2ppm.
The tank is relatively new but has been cycled as I watched the Ammonia ans Nitrites go up and down with a corresponding NO3 rise..
My theory is and please let me know your thoughts is that a nassarius snail has died and is rotting in the sand somewhere... I had like 5 but can only see 4 when I put food into the tank.
Does this sound plausable? I want some hermits but they are proving hard to find over here..
Cheers
