i now have my first saltwater tank and i have a few questions about the nitrite levels in it( for my fishes benefit). i cycled the tank for about 6 weeks and added a damsels( which i learned are mean little fish) and a clownfish. the damsels life was very short about 2 weeks. i didn't add anymore fish and did water changes and checked the ph , ammonia , and nitrite levels and they have been good for about 2 weeks . well, until i added a yellow head goby and a hawkfish and 4 snails. now my nitrite levels are going up again. i am watching the amount of food i am giving them plus i am cleaning the sand. is there something else i need to do? everyone here at my local fish store can't believe my clownfish outlived the damsel ..... i need any and all advise.....
