all of a sudden ...boom ...amonia!!!!

After a couple days things are good in the zoa tank, did two large water changes added new carbon , not sure where the amonia came from but it's back down to 0 . Parameters are better now too , phos test I did the other night was botched , I did 3 tests yesterday and all say good. There's a slight color change but it's closer to zero. I priced out a tlf phosban reactor and am buying it next week and going to set ut up next to my hob filter. Aiptasia is clearing up but I witnessed my filefish eat 1 out if 2 of my rpe's....have also watched him eat aiptasia alot so I'll keep watching it's hard to say what's worse the few polyps he nay take out or the now 100+ aiptasia he's really making a dent though I'm impressed

Hey Denny didn't the nudibranch do the trick with the apstasia. I was hoping you were able to breed them so I could grab one from you or get yours once it killed them all. I hope the filefish does them in. As for nitrates from the algae die-off, Steve from Red Coral sold me a bottle of Tailored Aquatics nitrate destroyer that it supposed to reduce nitrates and phosphates. He said Prime doesn't remove nitrates, just dechorinates even though the bottle states that. So I'm on day 3 of this stuff as for some reason, I'm getting this green algae problem again. I'm starting to think Prime doesn't do the trick on tap water and I should just use RO water for my tank.
