Nitrate!
I have an anemone that didn't look so hot, so I finally sat down with a
notebook and started working through my jr. chemistry set.
Arg! Eye popping levels of nitrate! I only had ten gallons of water
mixed up, so exchanged that. And, I put the fish on a crash diet. I've
only had the protein skimmer running for 72 hrs, but that should help.
All my other levels are normal except for Ca+ which is 600ppm.
I'll continue doing water changes as soon as the salt water gets 24 hrs
to stand.
Anything else I can do? (Remember: I'm a newbie.)
