ok guys i just did an ammonia test on the ice chest water that is holding my two fish ( clown and damsel) as well as my coral poplys, 2 sea urchins, and sea whip.....

the test said 2.4 ppm total which is like .6-.9 ammonia toxic....

The fish are still living and i just rinsed out the cooler and i am going to replace all the water with new.....i am increasing new water temp as we speak......

My question is how did the fish survive at this level and how do i keep the ammonia level low while i am using this holding facility while the 90g cycles....?

I think i might go to lfs and see if they will hold my animals for me....?
 
ok guys i fixed it with a 100% water change and a rinse out of the chest.....my fish must be super heros.....cant kill a damsel and my clown fish is just awesome.......(happiness)
