Good job. It is good to hear that the ammonia has finally come down! Now
getting the nitrates down is the next challenge. I would continue with your
water changes and vacuming the substrate. Adding some more LR and LS is
going to help as well as adding some caluerpa to the sump (cant remember if
you have a sump or if you have any caluerpa in the system). Caluerpa will
suck the nitrates up pretty effectively.

I thnik I can finaly tell you that my ammonia levels have gotten
back to
normal. The temp in the aquarium is 78-80. ammonia 0, nitrite 0,
nitrate 20, salinity 1.023, calcium 500, dkh 11.2, phosphate 0. I
have
had these test results now for about 3 weeks. I have even added a
hippo
tang and the levels stayed the same. I am still planing to add
10lbs of
live sand and about 20 or 30 more lbs of live rock. Thank you for
all
your help. I still need to work on getting the nitrates down. If
anyone has any suggestions about this please let me know.
