So.... Nearly a week into putting my new additions into the tank and was told by my LFS that I should expect to see an ammonia spike..... I haven't..... It's been reading 0 ammonia all week.
However, my Nitrites are still quite high. Not seen them drop below 1.
All other parameters seem to be fine and the fish/CUC are doing good. No signs of distress, feeding well and the water is still crystal clear.
Any ideas on what is going on or is it just a time thing to allow the nitrites to drop?
I don't know if a water change is needed yet? (I did a couple of water changes a few weeks back and was told to stop as I was doing them too early with no livestock in the tank!)
Any help appreciated
