That ammonia is high. should always be at zero.

Need to do a water change right away.

Long term you may need more LR or more flow or both.

A dead fish is a likely cause for the ammonia. Probably showed up after the fish started decomposing.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
