after ich and recycling

[jolaf]

Hi Everyone,

After going through a terrible ich disease it is now gone. Some of you know my test results went off the chart after doing alot of water changes. The test results are now good with exception to the nitrites still at a danger level. my question is my fish are doing great I am thinking i need to wait until the nitrites regulate now before adding a fish>?? I have purchased a 10 gallon tank to add any new additions to before adding to my 30 G tank. I think I am getting the hang of it Thanks to all who helped me out.

Yes I would wait until you get the nitrites under control because your fish have sorta gotten immuned to it. But if you put any fish in their they would be gone in a couple of days because their used to good water conditions at your lps. And I suppose you already know you have to wait 2 weeks for the 10g to cycle. And you'll need to have some fish in their all the time to keep bacteria alive so you can quarintien (or however you spell it) new fish.
