Ok no nitrites at this point, I will continue to be patient!
Greg5530 said:Andrew, I dosed ammonia back to 4ppm and today there is 0 ppm, nitrites at about 5ppm highest that is on the test kit. Nitrate is between 20-40. I dosed ammonia back up to 2ppm I don't want to starve the bacteria. What is next on the game plan?
Greg5530 said:Ok so I should keep testing and wait until the nitrites disappear in to nitrates and then just keep doing water changes or do like one big water change. And also what is the best way to actually do a water change again I'm new to this and never even done any water change since I filled the tank.
