Recently ripped out everything from my tank and created a new scape. I think it now looks much nicer but I have thrown out all my rock in favour of slate. I've lost a lot of beneficial bacteria. I'm now getting high nitrite levels. Is it possible that the ammonia converting bacteria have recovered faster than the nitrite converting bacteria? If so how long do you think it might take for it to recover?
