Fish is alive. I was amazed yesterday no nitrate. And some today
During the cycle you always have a period with both Nitrite and Nitrate, so I am not sure what you mean...It's probably a false Nitrate reading if you have any Nitrite in the water.

Thanks for explaining that. I have personally only used Bio Spira and Fritz Turbo 900 and have not run into any issues with high Nitrite or Nitrate yet, but that is good to know.I was told in the chemistry forum by Randy that hobby grade test kits will give a false high nitrate reading if there is nitrite present in the water. I had a similar issue where I dosed ammonia via dr Tim's method, and after dosing ammonia once my nitrate was at 30! I was stumped. After Randy's response I waited until my nitrite tested at 0.00 and sure enough my nitrate made more sense and tested around 5-10. My nitrite was .5 when I got the 30 nitrate reading.
