How long has your tank been established?

 

[jamesthero]

2 months

 

[1journeyman]

In a cycled tank, ammonia and nitrite should both be 0.
Both are very toxic.

 

[jamesthero]

what should i do to lower the nitrite

 

[spartan78]

Water changes, less feedings (if you think your overfeeding), chaeto algae, and cleaner clams.

 

[1journeyman]

As Spartan suggested, do a water change now. After that, figure out why it has spiked to begin with.
Has anything died recently?

 

[wax32]

Your pH is low too, I'd think something died in your tank or you are way overfeeding.

yes i found 4 turbos when i was cleaning i do 20% water changes every two weeks and i just did one two days ago i may be over feeding as well on my test sheet the lowest number for the nitrite is 0.3 so what color would it be if 0
'i just found my paperwork for the kit and it states ideally nitrite levels should be kept below 0.8 mg/l:
if the nitrite is above 1.6 mg/l:
carry out water change and clean filter and a few other necessary things bla bla
mine is o.3 whitch is the lowest on the test and the highest being 3.3 so that tells me i should be fine right :thinking:
