please help, as i was doing a routine water trest i had trouble getting a proper color reading on the ph (7.8 and a brownish color), as for the ammonia it was reading .2-.3, fish seems to be okay, however keeping a bit quiet and low in the tank...i have introduced some more fish over the past few days....what seems to be my problem? how can i fix it? i will be changing the ammonia filtration tonight. thanks

It is hard to say for sure about the ph, cause I don't know what kind of test your using. Usually though saltwater ph tests tend to be high range only, so if looks like the lowest it could be even lower than you think. Get a good buffer. The ammonia is due to the recent additions to your tank. I'd be pretty quiet to if I was inhaling that kind of pollution. Future reference only one fish at a time. good Luck.

Don't add any more fish until you get a water test at your local pet shop. also what kind of set up are you running???? how long has it been set up????[
