my ammonia sit at a level that is not detectable and it is a poison and will kill even low levels will kill after a while due to accumulation in the fishes system. Has anything spawned in your tank? A large snail dead maybe they can turn a tank if they are large enough. How are your cleanup crew doing?

As I PM'ed keep an eye on levels and do water changes as needed things should stables, we all hope. try and get some of that ammonia reducing floss at a local LFS costs about 10 dolors. helps for emergincies like this. Snails and the rest of the cleanup crew are doing good then if any thing has died they will find it and take care of it. You could have some worms that died do to the ALK dose or some thing else. Now you should reduse the light period to help combate any algae groth that may follow this crash. Give us a post before you leave for work if you have a couple of seconds how the fish are breathing and such. give new peramiters when you can, all that youo have test kits for anyways.

Ammonia is poison it will kill do a water change 10-15% if there is ammonia there is nitrites and nitrates they are all part of the same biological circle. Add a air stone as well this will help rase the oxegen level in the tank. get your skimmer to skimm a bit wetter this will get more waste out of the water.
