Dreams Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I've added BioMature to my tank, i've tested for the nitrite, the reading is 1mg/l . My tank is currently a 3 ft tank without any equpiment yet. I've added salt and some dead sand into the tank. since my nitrite is kind of low, can i add fishes in at this timing?
