In my fluval I have the carbon, and sponge inserts along with bio media stuff.

Drop the sponge, IMHO.

My parameters are
Nitrite=0
nitrate=<10
Ph=8
Ammonia=8

WOO WOO Ammonia=8 , is this a new setup? If so I think it has not finished cycling yet. Be careful about adding more stuff.

Calcium over 500ppm
Salintiy=1.022
I realize the tang was an incorrect purchase but my son said he would take the tang and the Choc chip starfish if I have problems.
I added a Ricordia yesterday but I am not sure if it is I got it cheap.
Jim
Just my opinion.

EDIT: Just reread your post it has been cycled , but the ammonia is WAY too high IMHO.
