How to Rescue your Saltwater Aquarium After a Crash

In this video, I explore what to do if your tank crashes and needs to be rescued. 1. Stop Feeding. No feeding for 24-28 hours 2. Test for Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate. Measure your temperature and salinity. Do a larger water changed 25-50 percent. Match temperature and salinity. Use quality water such as distilled water and or RODI water only. If ammonia remains high do daily smaller water changes at 20-30 percent. 3. Add ammonia control including Seachem Prime; Am Guard and Live Bacteria. 4. Increase oxygen to improve water quality. Point your power heads towards the surface and consider adding an airs stone temporarily. Lower temperature to 24-25 degrees Celsius or 75 to 77 Fahrenheit. 5. Remove any ill fish or livestock. 6. Check your heater and make sure you have power if you have had a power outage. Do not add livestock too fast. 7. Use activated carbon, filter floss and replace daily. 8.Forgot this one in the video but reduce lights to 30-50 percent. 9. Aim for your Ammonia and Nitrite levels to return to 0. 10. No new live stock or coral for 3-4 weeks. To prevent crashes: heater controller, backup battery, water top off unit, weekly testing and log your measurements. #fishkeepinghobby #saltwateraquarium #aquariummaintenance
