i have a 20 gallon heavily planted and with 2 bolivian rams and 3 cories. the tank has been running for 9 days and i've had a very slight spike in ammonia (.4 mg/l for one day) and now a slight spike in nitrites (.05 mg/l). i'm wondering how long this spike will last?
i've been doing water changes every day to help everything along and i will be adding CO2 to the water shortly to give the plants a boost as the 65 watts is quite a lot of light for them.
what i really want to know is how long before the nitrites go back to 0 so i can add some more fish?
thanks!
