Once your nitrite hits 0, do a water change, and then ghost feed for a week and if you still have no ammonia or nitrite your ready.

How big is your tank, I would say a 20% water change. When your nitrite hits 0 do a water change, your nitrates won't go away on their own. Put a pinch of flake in everyday for a week, and if your parameters are still good, then its ready.

readings for today are as follows.
3/7/12
ph 8.0
ammonia 0 ppm
nitrite 1 ppm
nitrate 10 ppm
sg is still 1.023...
The qt tank is getting set up tomorrow after work any suggestions was thinking about a sponge filter on a maxi-jet pump .I have this old marine land filter like a 300 or 400 size. Kinda thinking that is overkill for a 10 gal tank. Any help is much appreciated
