so after seeding a new filter when starting a new aquarium and having to add fish straight away as had to get rid of the old tank ive have been testing the nitrites every other day and they have just started to show. todays level was .25ppm so tomorrow ill be doing a 30-40% water change. can i expect this level to rise or stay the same or fall. i have .25ppm of ammonia but i believe this to be the non-toxic ammonium as im using seachem prime. im hoping that the nitrobacter bacteria will sort out the high nitrites in 1-3 days as from what ive learned they are slower to multiply. am i correct or does anyone have any advice to give from anything i might have missed???
