Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I had a 10 gallon saltwater tank we started in November 07. Everything went great and we decided to upgrade to 55 gal. Set up the new tank-that was so fun-have lava rock, a little live rock,dried corals,etc. After 3 days,we transferred the old tank to the 55. First the rock and decorations, then the old filter, then the fish. A coral beauty, peppermint shrimp, and a couple grass shrimp. Wednesday we did the transfer, and Thursday evening the nitrites started rising. I had checked the 10 gallon nitrite level before and it was fine. Now this morning after adding 5 caps of Prime last night, it looks like the levels are higher. Fish seem fine. Eating and moving around. What is going on? Please help!
