What. The. EFF!!
My QT tank's nitrite tested at like 4ppm this morning!!!!
1 day before I was going to put my little angels in the big tank, and I get this spike
I'm moving the angels into the bigger tank. I'm guessing it may have spiked from having an increased bioload (we went from having 4 fish in there to 3 baby angels and 3 endlers)
I got the angels out and swapped the QT into a spare 10 gallon we had so I can free up the 12 g for an upcoming reef project. Since there are no fish in the QT anymore I'll stay on top of these water parameters and see what is going on.
(Also did like a 70% wc)
Any ideas why the nitrite would spike like that?
Was it the increased bioload?
