1st signs of Nitrite????
Our tank is about a month and a half old now. Never saw a huge spike of ammonia or Nitrate while cycling. Ammonia / Nitrate and Nitrite have been 0 for the last 3 weeks. We did a substrate change this past weekend along with a 10% water change (crushed coral came out, Samoa Pink sand went in). I ran tests tonight to make sure we didn’t disturb the water chemistry….
Tonight’s results: Ammonia – 0 Nitrate – 0 PH – 8.4 Nitrite - .25 Oxygen – 7 (this test kit came in today, 1st time measuring) SG – 1.023 Temp – 77 The tank is a 75 Gal fish only with about 100 lbs of live rock. We are running a sump with skimmer. Is this 1st sign of Nitrite OK? Should any measures be taken yet? Of course I’ll keep an eye on it over the next few days.
