Hello all I am new here and I must say you have a nice site. The problem I am having is I had 2 live plants in my 77 gal brackish water tanks my scat fish thought that he needed some more plant matter in his diet so he started to eat the one however the stuff that was not eaten was just sitting on the bottom, I was away for 2 days so when I got back I noticed this and did a water change and cleaned the dead plant matter out, at that time the nitrite was at about .3mg/l. I check the levels again in 24 hours no change so then I checked again in 24 more hours and it got a little higher. So I figured that some of the plant matter was in my filter and that was contributing to my high levels. So I cleaned out my filter and but some cycle directly in the filter and I now realize that I changed too much media in my filter but all the plant matter is gone. The nitrite levels are now around0.5 or0.6 mg/l. the water was starting to get a little cloudy so I did a water change last night and the water is not cloudy this morning but levels are still around 0.5 or0.6 mg/l. Is there anything else I can do until the tanks settles down? Thanks for any help you can give me.
