Hey everybody.
I am having issues. I just recently had a huge ammonia spike. I did 2 20% water changes and got it down to normal parameters. However I do not know what caused it. It seemed to happen right after I added Purple Up which the LFS guy told me to use that to feed coral. However I think it is an algae feeder. Along with the ammonia spike my tank seems to be experiencing a large amount of brown hair algae and I mean a lot. I lost my yellow tang today as I think the ammonia spike was just to much for him. I am really concerned and worried that I am going to lose more fish. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Ammonia levels are below are at 0 PH is normal nitrite and nitrate levels are good. I am not sure how to get rid of this algae or what caused the spike in ammonia.
Please help.
