Travis Harman Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I'm trying to get a new tank started. Have had water in it for 6 weeks, with plants. 1 Java Fern, 3 Amazon Swords, 2 Pogostem, and 2 anubus for same the time. The Ammonia spiked 3 weeks ago and have come down to zero. Was dosing 2 pumps of easy green and a total5 root tabs are in tank. Algee was going nuts and since tank was Sable and full of algee I put in 1 Otto and he's going to town. About 3 days after that nitrite has been above .5ppm and higher. I have changed 10 gallons a day of a 29 gallon tank 6 days strait, gravel vacuum, going to put a fluval lite in tomorrow when mail comes tomorow hopeing that kicks plant into high drive. Tested tap water and thats a nice blue so that would be 0 nitrites. Also put a dose of fritz 7 week ago. There's no food going in and 1 Otto should not spike nitrite. What am I doing wrong??
