I decided to try the Red Sea kit on my new system. Directions were followed accurately however yesterday was day 14, according to the directions I should have .05ppm of Nitrite and I was suppose to add my first 2 fish. I decided to do a full range of tests on the system before adding the fish. Ammonia was at 0, but Nitrite was at 2ppm. Phosphates 99ppm on my hanna and nitrates are at 30ppm. I was only concerned about the Nitrite in regards to the fish's safety.
Obviously I did not add any fish. It seems like the system is still cycling.
Any ideas on why my system didn't follow the schedule of the Red Sea kit?
