I have a 50 gallon heavily planted tank that's been established for about 6 months now. Recently I ran into some issues when we had a power outage over night. In the morning all of my rummy nose tetras were dead and my nitrites had spiked up to 8.0ppm. I was able to get the nitrites back down to .25ppm. However for the last week my ammonia has stayed at a constant 1.0ppm and my nitrites at .25ppm. I do partial water changes every other day and dose with stress coat but the levels just won't go down. All the fish however have been acting completely normal and they are eating when I feed them. I cut back on feeding until I can resolve the issue and vacuum out any food that isn't eaten.
Tank parameters:
50 gallon fresh water
Heavily planted with CO2
2 juvenile Angelfish
10 kuhli loaches
Ammonia: 1.0ppm
Nitrite: .25ppm
Nitrate: 5-10ppm
pH: 7.5
I'm not sure what to do! It's been a week and the ammonia and nitrite have been stuck at those levels!
