I'm wondering if nitrItes cause water cloudiness, even just a little bit. I've been struggling with cloudy water for a couple of weeks, but have been getting normal readings with the API. Well, this morning I got the following readings: .25 ammonia, 1.0 nitrItes, 10 nitrates, 7.2 pH. So I have a nitrItes spike . . . is this a mini cycle? I'm afraid I've caused it myself by rinsing out my filters in chlorinated water and probably killing off the beneficial bacteria (Big Jim has already told me how to avoid this in the future -- please don't yell at me! ).
I've dosed the tank with AmQuel and the fish are all perked up, where before they were pretty listless.
I know that nitrItes can be as poisonous as ammonia. As soon as my DH is awake, I'll start PWCs.
I knew something was up -- I've lost six fish in the past two weeks.
