I Have A One Month Tank And My Nitrite Levels Are High

[graemespence1]

My No3 is 0 and my No2 is around 1 so another change is in order

Yep, sure is - give it about 90% change, that should take your level down to about 0.1ppm, which will give you some leeway. Test again this evening, and be prepared to change again at that point.

When's that test kit coming? It'll be interesting to see an ammonia (NH3) result as well.

My new kit should be here on sat or mon wish i paid extra for quicker delivery i did a massive water change about 80% last night and used a strip this morning and the strips both say No2 and No3 are in teh zero region i know it aint precise but it's pleasing to know that the large water changes are working now i just need to focus on monitoring the readings and keeping it safe till i get a bigger tank

I managed to get a water sample to the pet store and they said that my ammonia is zero same with both nitrites so i take it i have saved my fish and now just need to focus on keeping monitoring the tank

It's good for the moment, but you're not in the clear yet. Carry on monitoring the levels and keep changing whenever they're anywhere above 0. Unfortunately you've got a good few weeks or months of this ahead of you but you're doing the right thing so just carry on with what you're doing.

I'm monitoring every morning and evening today all reading s are zero
