    just as the title says my tank had huge spikes from moving and I'm in need of a big water change. I've had a couple of fish die so I took those out. Any suggestions on what I can do other than a big water change and cleaning the filter? Please call to give me some advice asap. 641-919-5189. Thanks!

    To be honest, if its a huge emergency and you can't get ro water, tap water and prime treatment is better than ammonia water. This is supposing you don't have chloromines (check with your water provider for treatment method). Cedar Rapids should have a readout on their website.

    Cedar Rapids does have chloramines if I remember correctly. Good luck!

    Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I got it under control now, I did a few big water changes and now I'm near 0 again. Unfortunately I lost my striped squirrelfish, blue tang, bangaii cardinal, and two urchins. I still have my sailfin tang, flame angel, clown, and scooter blenny left and they're all back to normal. My coral is still majorly stressed, any ideas on what I can do to help those out?
