Ammonia and Nitrite are zero. I am sure that is good and it is all a sign that waste in my tank is being converted to nitrates. Better to have nitrate than ammonia. As I said, it may have come from the dead snail and associated bioload. I have also been battling a cyano problem which I seem to have a handle on now but perhaps decaying cyano is adding bioload as well. My fish are all fine. My cleanup crew appears fine (except for that one snail). My invers have been good for the most part. Funny how most people say anemones are so hard to keep but that is the one thing that is continuing to thrive in my tank. My clowns are in heaven! I seem to have lost my original green button polyp but only after it spawned two more which seem OK. I added the two mushroom polyps which were opened up nicely when I checked them a little while ago today. I also added a kenya tree which also seems to be doing well. I have a xenia frag that has been withering over the past few months but is still alive. I'm still just as new at this so I take all the suggestions I can get. I'm wondering if I had been measuring nitrates wrong all along or something.
