I'm hoping that y'all might be able to help me I'm at my wits end just about.
I cannot seem to get a handle on my nitrite levels. They're at 5ppm, and don't seem to want to go down. My ammonia levels are stable as just barely over 0ppm, and my Nitrates are going up and down like mad some days 20ppm, some days 80ppm.
I'm running a 6 week old 10g with a black moor and a panda telescope in it, both fish are small. I had some snails but they've all died. I'm running a UGF (soon to be reverse flow) and Bio-Wheel HOB, both running about 125gph. I've got a water wisteria in the tank and it's thriving, it's grown 2 inches in a week. I do regular water changes but they don't seem to help. I've tried daily and weekly changes but they make little difference
Is there any way to get my nitrites under control or do I just need to keep waiting until the nitrites drop? I really need to get this taken care of because I think the levels are killing my snails and I don't want to get any more until I get the levels zeroed out.
