Ok I have had my tank for six weeks weeks now but nitrites No2 not going down.
I have a 65 liter tank with a filter compartment spanning the width of the tank. It has two sponge filters and one which looks like cotton wool. The pump is rated at 200lph.
2 1/2 weeks ago had a massive spike in No2 +3.3mg/l even though I was changing 80% of the water my neons died.
I am continuing with daily 20% WC but the Nitrites stay around 0.3mg/l after the change and go up to 0.8mg/l before I change the water. The first sponge filter has a slime / snot slowly building up in it, the second filter has no slime / snot in it. The ammonia has not been above 0.0 mg/l for 27 days.
My tank does have plants and bio Co2 (jbl) the pants are doing fine.
I have 2 Yellow Cichlids, 2 Mollies, 1 Dwarf Gourami, 3 Siamase Algae eaters. Will the No2 ever go down
don
