    Ok, let's deal with Steno1911 first. I should have caught this earlier! I assumed (not good) that when Steno1911 was saying his nitrite was over...

    Steno1911 - let's go back a little. What test kits are you using and are they measuring the ion form of ammonia and nitrite or are they measuring...

    pink4miss - I disagree. The nitrifying bacteria are not IN the water. So changing 100% of the water does not remove any good bacteria and since his...

    I don't think you need to remove everything - you can 'wash' the sand using a gravel washer which will also result in a water change. Do another big...

    Steno1911 Something just does not make sense here: 1) You did nearly a 100% water change 2) After that nitrite was between 1 -2 ppm 3) You did not...

    Don't be concerned. The nitrite oxidizing bacteria are slow compared to the ammonia oxidizing bacteria so give it some time.

    steno1911 wait 24 to 48 hours before considering doing another water change and measure nitrite again. I think you'll find the level will drop and...
