Tanks about 11 weeks old. My ammonia levels are fine always, but the nitrite stays at .5 ppm and my nitrate at 20. I know pwc is nessecary but my main concern is the nitrite. Isnt that supposed to also stay at 0. A week after water changes it seems to find its way back up. I dont believe my tank is overstocked. Also, how often should I clean out my canister filter, and how do I clean it without removing all the bacteria?? Thanks
One more thing, I'm using Kent PkH super buffer but my PH will not go above 8.0 I dosed every day for a week and it stayed at 8.0. Is this a problem. Or pointing out to another problem with the water quality?
