I know you guys are trying to help and i really appreciate it. RC Pilot: Sorry for taking things personally i was just had a bad day and was really frustrated. Im going to look for a new home for my fish today and possbily take down my tank or restart.

RC pilot: It maybe my fault but the lfs told me it was fine and every thing i need and i believed so yea i guess i am a sucker. Hope you feel good about yourself for upsetting a kid. And as for being a good parent, was your kid the one in the baloon??

ok yea i didnt think that was a good idea either. I cycled my tank with no lr and a damsel. Its been about 6 weeks and i begning to think my cycle never finished. I thought my cycle had finished becuase my ammonia was 0 and because i had the diatom bloom and green algea took over. Is it...

Im pretty sure my test kit is good, i just bought a new one to make sure and had the same results even with two major 20% water changes. I tested my new water and it had no nitrite but the tank water was still at 3ppm with the new water. Im begining to think there is some food decaying in a...

How long would they spike for because its been over a week of nitrite at 3ppm. I did another water change and the nitrite levels are still around 3ppm. Im freaking out now because it wont go down with water changes. Does areation help

Sounds great thanks again for the quick response

ok thanks for the fast replies, the nitrate appears to have dropped and my yellow tail damsel appears to be doing fine

I recently checked my water chemistry (chlorine, nitrite, ph and alkalinity) after doing 25% water change the day before and everything was perfect except for the nitrite. Before my nitrite was always around .5 ppm and now it showed 3 ppm. Is this in "safe zone" or should i do another water...
