ok my brother has a 72 gallon bow front with a magnum 350 filter system 2 powerheads protein skimmer etc. his water parameters are way outta whack he never tests his water well i went for a visit yesterday and most everything looked ok his zoos fish different types of polyps were all seemingly ok his bta seemed kinda out of it along with a few other anenomes i didnt see any of his shrimp and nudibranches so i asked him where they were at he said they just dissappeared and he didnt know.
i tested his water and it was whacked
ph 8.8 or higher
nitrite 0.5 pppm
nitrate over 80ppm
ammonia 2ppm
and tank looked filthy.
i helped him with a 50 percent water change and clean up the tank and change his filter any other helpful suggestions would be great im going back today to check everything out he also admitted to not spot feeding his anenomes or doing any kind of maintenance to his tank i told him he stood to lose alot of cash if he didnt care for his tank and that id help him get it back in order but im pretty novice still myself any other help would be nice thanks
