First nem

[Geissijs]

So I added my first anemone last night. Nitrate =0
Nitrite =0
Ammonia =0
PH = 8.2
Salinity= 1.024

Everything Looked good, wide open the whole time and all day today.

Came home from work about 2 hours ago, decided to test water.
Nitrate =0
Nitrite =0
Ammonia =.25/.50
PH = 8.2
Salinity =1.024
I fed the nem a piece of shrimp just now, opened up and took it like a champ, my concern is that he is the cause of the ammonia spike,
is this a bad sign?
He ate, that's good right, but could he be still on a downward slide?
Tank has been up for 9 months, running skimmer, pulling good color, lots of live rock and few tank mates, 150 w mh, but they have not been on since he came in. I was running the 65w actinics tonight. Any suggestions?

You really need to find the source of that ammonia before you do anything else. Do you have any missing fish or large snails etc? Something has more than likely died to create the ammonia you're seeing. Also please post a picture of your anemone

How are your parameters today? Also you need to raise your SG to 1.025-1.026 this is more than likely going to change all of your settings especially on Ca/Mg/Kh
