Do you have adequate biological filtration? How long was your GF feeding?

she fed them for two days....what would be adequate filtration for a 120g tank??

Large waterchange and look for dead things, snails, fish anything you haven't seen moving recently and take it out.

That's a big spike if it has been cycled for months, if new it's normal. Anyone stir the sand or remove rocks?

thanks a lot wickedfish....ill be doing that asap...thanks

Water change for sure.

As for the cause...maybe you don't have enough biofilter. From your profile pic it looks like you don't have a lot of rock in your tank. Do you have more in your sump? Just wondering if you need more surface area for the bacteria to grow...

BTW- grew up in Placentia...parents still live there.

.25 is still high not good. Do the Wc this morning. And like said by wicked look for something dead. A dead snail can cause a spike.
