I asked this a week or so ago but only got 1 response. I have a 55 gallon,dsb, that used to have fish only in it but due to a spike in ammonia(I added them too soon) they all died. So after they all died, the ammonia and nitrites were both already spiked so I just left it alone and let it continue to cycle empty. Occasionally adding biozyme. It took awhile but the ammonia finally reached 0. My problem now is that the nitrites are still spiked, the ammonia has been 0 for about 2-3 weeks, and the nitrites are still spiked. The nitrates are about 20. the ph is 8, the salinity is 1.021 and the temp is 82. Is there anything else I should be doing?? It has been over 2 months since my fish died, how long does it usually take to drop the nitrites?? Also, algae is starting to grow on sand and glass. Please help, I'd like fish sometime this century, LOL. Thanx.
