    High nitrites in a new setup

    I did 2 50% pwc yesterday and my Nitrite was testing at about .5 PPM last night. Checked again this morning and it is somewhere between .5 and 1 PPM. Will keep doing testing and pwc daily until the tank does complete the cycle.

    High nitrites in a new setup

    Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 2 PPM Nitrate - 5 PPM I did another 50% water change today before reading BBradbury's reply. I did use Prime and Stability along with some stress coat after the water change. Will reduce my water change to 25% daily as well as keep on testing. Thank you for the replies all!
