Hi, My ammonia levels are quite low but my nitrite levels are very high. I used a nutrafin 'cycle' product to help with the nitrite levels but after 4 days nothing has really changed. I was thinking of using a piece of chicken breast to help cycle the tank (It's a 35g). Would this be of any help? What else could I do, I am hoping to add liverock sometime next week from lr.com but want my tank levelst to be somewhat stable (ph is fine, salinity is ~1.023, temp is ~25C +- 1 deg).
I have been runing the tank with just water for about 7 weeks, I have 10 lbs of argonite sand over a bag of caribsea cc substrate. My filter is a emperor 280 filter (has a carbon filter media and a (clean) biowheel, also has a container for another filter media that can be filled up)
Is my only solution time?
For lighting i just have a 18" eclipe 'daylight' plain white floro and 2 blue cold cathode tubes (for moonlighting, works great!)
thanks,
raja
