How can you reduce the Nitrite measuring over 5PPM during Fishless Cycling?
High Nitrite for 13+ days while Ammonia drops to 0ppm. I have done a 40-gallon water change but still high purple reading. I am lost not sure what to do.
Size tank: 120G
Temp: 80
Salinity: 35ppt
Ammonia: Dr Tims
Bacteria: Dr Tims one and Only
Rocks: Carib sea Life rock (dry)
Sand: Caribsea Dry Sand
Water: RO
Cycle Started: Sept 16,2020
Test Kit: API Nitrite and Ammonia
I have seen a few post that says to wait it out, don't add any more ammonia. I goal for this thread is to provide a 1 stop source for new reefers when they face the same challenge of high nitrite for weeks.
