Hey - what a crazy few days!
My power was out after Storm Ellen for about 36 hours. The water temp went from 30.7 down to 23.9. While I was out power restored & tank temp was 29.6 when I got home. I tested the water once I'd power back on and these are my results....
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0.3
Nitrate 10
I did a 75% water change and now water temp is 30.6 again (last few days of ICH treatment due to finish Sunday).
Is high Nitrite normal given the filter was off for so long? Or have I interupted a cycle? The tank is only finished a fish in cycle since 16th August.
Will I extend ICH high temp treatment?
Oh man that was soooooo stressful. Fish are behaving ok and tank looks ok after water change.
