I made a tank in my house it is just
about 500 gallons of water. I have 9 fish in it. The tank
has been running for 2 months. I have no ammonia, but i have
.25 nitrite and it will not go down. What do you think - just
not running long enough, or too many fish?
A little of both. Get some salt into your vat (1.5 pounds
per 100 gallons should do it), keep it stable with frequent
testing, and do water changes until the secondary bacterial
cultures come online. You might also boost your filter culture
with one of the bacteria preps from Microbe-Lift and some
montmorillonite clay.
