Hi yesterday I put in another sponge filtre from my established tank as I was not sure if I had managed to kill off the bacteria that I had put in a week previous, but I am still getting the same readings. Should I be getting different readings by now, either up or down?
PH 8.0
Nitrite 1.0
Nitrate 40 or 80 (can't tell which as these look very similar)
Ammonia 0.6
Should I do a part water change and add more bio solution? Or leave it alone, I don't want to kill the bacteria again, but I am worried that the high levels of Nitrates will cause problems for the bacteria, I think I read that somewhere, is that right?
