When i first purchased my cleanup crew I had my water checked by my
LFS.
I guess I was under the illusion I would not need to start changing or replacing elements in my water so soon, I've just read some articles at
Home - Reefkeeping Magazine Online regarding water management.
After reading seahorsedreams post I carried out a 20% water change and I have already noticed a small color change in my
ammonia reading especially today and 2 of my polyps I thought may have been dead have open up again.
I will start regular % water changes and see if I can add
iodine to my test kit and make sure I read and understand all other elements my tank require.
