You guys do know there are products that detoxify nitrites as well as ammonia?
Amquel Plus is one. http
/www.kordon.com/kordon/amquel+/index.htm
I have well water and so don't need to dechlor. However, I use bleach dips on plants etc. and have used Amquel for years. The regular Amquelis a dechlor and ammonia detoxifier (as weel as a few other thing). The Amquel plus does even more.
Note- they will effect some test kits causing them to give false readings, so please read the directions completely so you know what is going on.
Torred- I suspect your tap water comes out with disolved co2 in it. To be sure you have properly assessed your tap parameters, fill a glass or pitcher with tap water, drop in an airstone and run it for an hour or two and then test the pH. If you dont have an air stone, let the container site for 24 hours and then test.
