tested my water parameters today. have amazing news!!
nitrites are at 0-0.1 (salifert)
when I had my last tank, I could never get my nitrates below 40-50, EVER!! no matter what I did,
The tank did really well, and I learned to live with it. I didn't expect anything different this time around, with this different tank.
my nitrites finally hit 0, or pretty darn close. decided to test nitrates with my Hanna checker....they came in at 7.3!!!!! what the heck!!! HOWWWWWWW? only I would question that. I tested the water 3 times, same reading each time. that makes me happy
I think I can now add CUC's without worrying about high nitrites killing them off.
