ammonia seems to keep going up... i moved all the rock around searching for dead things that i may have missed only to find big piles of dead bristleworms under each rock. and sucked em up/did a 20g water change. Which has dropped it a bit, but i have a feeling i am gonna have to keep this up for a bit before things normalize. Below it is pretty easy to see where the big water change happened.
the bonus of the day was while moving rocks i did a tally of the fish i could see and All fish are officially alive. Very happy about that as my female lion was very bloated and hiding for the last couple days.
