Nitrite off the Chart
My aquarium has been set up for a month and I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle. The ammonia level is zero but the nitrite level is between 2.0 and 5.0. I have done 50% water changes the last few days, I have poured refrigerated beneficial bacteria into the water, I have put bio balls from my local fish store’s tank in my tank and I continue to lose fish on an almost daily basis. Why is the nitrite level still so high after this much time and so many interventions to lower it? I'm running an Aqua Clear HOB filter and a Fluval internal filter on the 29 gallon tank with a air stone wand across the back as well.
