    sorry i had this posed in general and now moving it here
    hi all
    My qt 10g is showing nitrite levels at 1ppm. that being said would putting a skimmer on this tank help. it has been at this level for a few weeks now and waterchange doesnt seem to be helping all other params seem good
    ph 8, nitrate 20 ( a little high imo), temp 80, livestock 1 flame angel almost ready for the display tank and 1 blue damsel which will stay in qt for now.
    just wondering if i should worry about the nitrite at 1 mg/l or if i should do something about it. The fish seem to be doing fine and i have dosed with Seachem Prime to hopefully nutraize the nitrite. oh btw ammonia is 0.

    thanks for any advice !
    Anthony

    this isn't a move, it's a repeat.

    you can move the original to here though and not have 2 duplicate threads...
