Hmmm.. Yeah, I won't be able to take him back for a few days.

Also, I tested the pH again today. I think it's way too low for my cleaner wrasse - about 7.8-8.0. I've got coral sand in the tank which helps keep pH up, but what else can I do? How will the fish cope at this pH for the next few days?

The tank has only been running a few days (some filter media was already cycled), Is it likely to experience an ammonia spike in the next couple of days. Should I only feed my fish very little?
