Ok aquarium gurus. I am still waiting for nitrites to come down to zero. Over the past three days my nitrites and nitrates were very high. I’ve added ammonia every night until it reads 2ppm. This morning at ~9:00am, I checked the ammonia and it was yellow as can be or 0ppm. I decide to add some more to bring it back up to 2pmm. It’s 1:30pm pacific and the ammonia is gone. Jeez, do I have to add ammonia every 4 hours? Got any suggestions? Is the norm? Here are the test perfomed between last night and this afternoon.
