Hi,
I've had a few post on here about ick and hypo...but this tread is about high ammonia levels in my 55 gal tank that is currently in hypo. I used hypo in my display tank after an ick outbreak all was lost except my watchman goby, which is still alive and doing very well. However my inexperance cost me when a failed to remove the LR and LS from the tank, which in my current research was a big mistake. I assume the die off from the LR and LS is the cause of the high ammonia levels which is about .50 ppm. I am going to move the goby into the Q-tank that has just finished its cycle. But what do i need to do about the now dead sand and dead rock?? I can buy more LS to add to the old sand, but how do I revive the rock. Should I cure again in a rubbermaid tub or scrape it and use it for base rock? Thanks for your advice in advance. <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

No its not. Parts of it are white but there is still the old coralline algea that it had on it when I bought it. I took the rock out a couple of days ago and gently scrubed it to get some of the rust color algea off it. and I smelled it, it seemed to small ok, there was a little smell but not too bad. <img src="graemlins//dead.gif" border="0" alt="[dead]" />
