I recently posted about what kind of test kit to get. Well I've ordered a salifert but during the mean time I got a Marine Lab so I could go ahead and test. My old test kit is about a year old now, Aquairum Pharmeceuticals (sp?). Anyhow I tested the nitrite the other night and it was .1ppm tested today after a water change and it is around .3ppm!
I retested with the Aquarium Phar. test kit and it shows elevated nitrite as well. I tested the new saltwater mix and it read perfect for everything (IO, RODI) I did clean my sump couple of days ago and removed a good bit of the fabric like mesh. Could it be that I removed too much of the biological type filtration, I use bioballs as well? Kinda at a loss here, everything looks happy in the tank so far but I am trying my darndest to get the water quality perfect.
Anyhow I am doing another water change to help curve this.
