Hi guys, I'm new around here and it's been great reading up on all your usefull posted messages. I have just started my marine tank a week and a half ago and have a problem I cant figure out. After a week of running the water, I threw in a shrimp, 2 small crabs, 2 clowns and a damsel to see how they would react. Unfortunately, the fishes couldn't live for a day but my shrimp and crabs are fine as hell. I asked the aquarium dude and he told me to check on my NH4 ammonium. It read 1.0 and I am not sure if it is ok. Should I change my entire water in the tank at all? Please advice? Appreciate it![:]

I am quite sure that you would have read some of Kelstorm (our moderator for Marine) suggestion that marine tank need at least 30 days 2 'run in' the tank.----------------

Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

u should have waited till both your NH3 and NO2 is zero before u start stocking up.. give your tank time to mature... i cycled my tank for 4-6 weeks.. before the first livestock goes in...[:
