I went on vacation for a few days and when I came back I had 2 fish dead at the bottom of the tank. BEFORE, I went on vacation, the fish were doing great.
Anyway, after 'fishing' the dead fish out of the tank, I noticed my nitrites were very high. I test my water just about every 3 days and the nitrites have ALWAYS been fine. I have a 48 gallon oceanic and 20 gallons gets changed every 2 weeks or so. AND I do NOT overfeed.
The question is: Will nitrites go up with a dead fish or two lying at the bottom of the tank for a day or two? Just curious about this.
Thanks.
