I recently set up a 50g all-in-one quarantine tank for the final two additions to my main system. Below is what the quarantine system is comprised of:
My question about whether these levels are unsafe for fish are based on the following:
- 50g all-in-one acrylic Lifereef aquarium
- 50w Cobalt heater
- Mag Drive 5 return pump
- Tunze nano automatic top-off system
- Tom’s Aqua Lifter & air stone
- One quart of MarinePure spheres (seeded in main system’s sump for two weeks)
- Seachem ammonia alert badge
My question about whether these levels are unsafe for fish are based on the following:
- I have read in multiple threads that nitrites need to be at a much higher concentration to be toxic to marine fish.
- It seems that majority of hobbyists don’t even test for nitrites when regarding quarantine system.
