| High ph and a high tempurature and ammonia is very deadly. Watch the ammonia level. Nitrites are really deadly. Stop feeding and let tank cycle. |

| probably die off from the move,plus you used LFS water to top up did you test the water you bought before use? several water changes over the next week will help and don't assume LFS water is good quality. how's the clownfish? **********USAfishbox.com*************

| great news I knew he wouldn't turn down mysis! LFS water is always hit or miss its much better to make your own that way you know exactly what you are putting in your tank. your params will settle down you are likely having a mini cycle because of the move just keep doing water changes and it will settle out. what kind of tests are you using? there not all created equal. **********USAfishbox.com*************

| i am using a API mast saltwater kit. my levels today are ph 7.8, I cant tell if the ammonia is 0.25 or .50 ppm cause of the shade of green, nitrite 0ppm, and nitrate is 0 ppm. I just added a purple 5 lb live rock from roozens, maybe that is why my ammonia spiked |

| yes its likely the reason but dont worry just keep doing water changes in the long run the LR will have many more benefits to your tank. **********USAfishbox.com*************
