Time for a big wc or two! Well, the day before you plan on stocking anyway! If you do not plan on buying fish for a bit, just continue to dose ammonia. The night before stocking, do a 90+% wc with temperature matched, properly conditioned water. Make sure your filters off before doing the wc and wait 10mins or so before turning them back on. Let everything run for half an hour then retest your nitrates. If they are not down to your tap level for nitrates, do another big wc (repeat above). It sometimes can take 2-3 wcs to drop nitrates when they are very high so do not get discouraged! Do not add any ammonia! Your bb will be fine for a night with none. That's about it! Please ask if you have questions!
