ammoina speck help quick

[oceanview85]

my tank is 2 and half yrs old and it going into an ammoina speak coral look bad i want to do a water change is it a good idea

[JimD]

Yes, do smaller freqent changes until the ammonia levels begin to drop. First thing you need to do is locate and remove the source of the ammonia, are any fish missing or have you added any new live rock?

[Texreefer]

When you say Amonia Spike,, what is the reading? are you missing any fish or have you messed with your sand bed recently? Do you have Bioballs in your system? What are your No3 and No4 readings. What do you mean by corals look bad? no polyp extension? Yes water change is a good idea

[Texreefer]

if readings are that bad , i would do whatever i can.. before using ammo lock i would do several large back to back water changes.. and find the source of the problem

drop the filter feeding food for your corals, at least for a couple of weeks.
