Hi guys,
I set up a 135 litre tank with dry rock and dry sand twelve days ago. My local fish store advised me to use Dr Tim’s one and only and dose with ammonia. On the second day the ammonia was already 2ppm or higher. I was using the Red Sea marine testing kit so the ammonia may have been higher. The ammonia is now down to 0.2 but the nitrites aren’t going down at all, the colour is the brightest pink so is suspect much higher than test result show.
it’s now day 13, is there anything else I need to do or can do to make the nitrites come down faster?. Or do I have to just be more patient?.
