waterdrop
Enthusiastic "Re-Beginner"
Just finished reviewing the whole thread again. Did you have plants die.. seemed like you mentioned new plants around the time when you were getting the new heater? The last time we attempted a kickstart with the double water change series, we did indeed see nitrite go down to 0.50ppm, so we know your kit can measure it low and we know we can get it down there, but it just comes right back up pretty fast and we never did get nitrates down. I think this coming weekend or when its convenient you should consider a series of water changes such that we attempt to get all the nitrate(NO3) out of there, its just seeming too strange to me and I'm worried its prolonging this nitrite spike too long. It might take 3 or even 4 90% water changes (I know, I hear the grumblings, "did you hear, waterdrop's gone nuts" ) but then take a set of tests prior to the ammonia recharge for me and post up. Also please post your temperature stat along with others, you're making me paranoid about whether there's a heater in there, lol.
