I've got a 92 litre tank, cycled 4 months ago, stocked with -
2 clown loaches
3 black widows
3 platies
3 mollies
2 algae eaters
I do fortnightly water changes but on testing the water before yesterdays change the nitrite level was very high, almost in the toxic scale. I did a quarter water change, cleaned the filter but the nitrite level is still very high today.
I'm just going to do another water change
I've read that salt can help reduce nitrite?
How often do I need to change the foam thingy in the filter?
Do I need to add charcoal to the filter?
Any other advice is much appreciated
Thanks
Paul
