Hi all,
A fully cleaned tank, rinsed substrate gravel, new water, cycled for 2 weeks, treated with API NITRITE remover for 4 days, quadruple doses in a 60L tank, new Juwel Compact filter media (which was exposed to high nitrite), but can someone explain to me why despite all the treatments the nitrite isn't dropping? Added new cirax today, so maybe soon I'll have low nitrite? Tank has no inhabitants. Ammonia, nitrate and PH all excellent. Stumped at the moment, or maybe the good bacteria from treatment just takes a long time to work? Any ideas please?
Thank you.
