I set up a QT a bit ago that is intended to be a "up all the time" QT.
After mixing salt, I added a cube of brime shrimp and let it go.
About a few weeks in I tested the water, Nitrates were 0, Nitrites were off the charts, and nitrates were at about 5ppm.
Since then Nitrites have not dropped.
I have done a water change. I have added a filter sock from my DT to try and get some bacteria going. Nothing, still sky high.
Anyone ever run into this before?
