Maint Day

Alk: Within normal limits
Ammonia: .25 after 10% water change!
Salinity 1.025
Carried out 10% (1" off the top of the waterline) water change. Siphoned from the bottom.
Checked the ammonia in the water pre-mixed with salt before adding it to the tank. "Fresh" salt water shows 0 ammonia. Tank water shows .25 even after 10% waterchange.
I have ordered Purigen as I found out that AmmoChips are not good for saltwater.
After water change added 40 drops of iodine supplement.
Will reduce feeding to once a week on wednesdays in effort to combat ammonia.
