I recently changed the filters (dual) in my power filter and within 2 days had a nitite and nitrate spike. Now I also added 3 lbs of live rock (test purchase) after the change of filters. These things might be unrelated in causing the spike or they may have built upon each other.
Do you think bacteria will colonize the old filters in such great quantities to affect the nitrite balance? Was adding the rock and changing the filters at nearly the same time a REALLY bad idea?
This is one of those things I never really thought about until I started seeing the after affects.
I seek your wisdom.
