yes am really taking into consideration taking the eel to my lfs I know the tank is to small and she's just there not moving and hardly eating this is like giving away your dog but I think its affecting the cycle even though its all dead rock no sand

what do you think of prime for thr high nitrites

I expect it is useless. Nitrite is not toxic in marine systems unless you are talking about hundreds of ppm.
