Hi,
I've cycled my reefer 170 with Dr Tim's all in one and ammonia chloride - it took about the 7 days but my ammonia is down to zero. It's been two more weeks but my nitrite is still 5ppm and nitrates are still 100ppm? Doing an API saltwater test kit.
I haven't introduced any fish yet.. as I'm note sure if they'll survive with high Nitrates (I hear Nitrites is ok for saltwater fish?)
What should I be doing to get ready for my first fish? I've tried a 20% water change but no real effect.
Thanks!
