Finally my ammonia level is down-now nitrites over the top. How long will the tries stay high? Both ammonia and trires have been over the top for over a week-10 days but as of yesterday the ammonia has dropped to .25. I crashed my first tank full of livestock for some reason (still haven't figured out why) so this is the second time around. The brown "stuff" is all over the glass on both sides. Should I scrap it off and do a water change or just wait longer? I do have some white patches on my LR-will this come back again or is it dead for good? Will coralin algea grow back over it? How long before I can add a clean up crew? I have a CBS-cleaner shrimp and a horseshoe crab that has lived through everything. I am going to leave the tank empty of fish for atleast 2 more weeks (total of 4 weeks) since I don't know why all my other fish died. This time around I have a QT and I am going to use it! I figure if I get a couple of fish and put them in the QT that my main tank will be ready by the time the fish finish their time in QT. Is this the right way to do it?
