Ph 8-8.3 Nitrite 1.6mg/l

[sjsheng]

shoud i wait for my nitrite to drop to 0 before adding blue tang? or other fish...

currently my crown fish is stable inside.. izzit safe to add in blue tang on saturday ?

[diabolus]

shouldnt ur nitrite be 0 before u can add any fish inside?

[NormanH]

Should wait nutil nitrite is 0 b4 adding any fish, is a miracle your clown fish can survive in that condition.

[sjsheng]

actually my nitrite lvl is about 0.3 going to 0 but my anemone die.. then the nitrite lvl went up to 1.6 how long it will take to reach 0 again

[diabolus]

if ur nitrite level was 0, ur anemone probably could have survived.

[sjsheng]

but now if reach 0 will my anemone survived? i scare end up like last time polute my water...

[bwilly]

thought I posted here, disappear..?

anyway..

anyway (again.??), zero the better.

dun tik much ppl can maintain

at that level.

anyway, get some greenie to suck

away the nitrate. ammonia n nitrite

maintain zero.

change partial water n if got refugium,

stock with greenie n weeds..

they will reduce your nitrate level, n

since not in main tank, won't compete

with your corals for nutrients..

[sjsheng]

well i add in the nitrite minus thing...

the uncle told me will absorb the nitrite...

how long will it take to reach 0 ?

[Razo]

if ur nitrite level was 0, ur anemone probably could have survived.

luckily all my small mushroom that came with my LR survive the ordeal.. getting bigger now..

and when the nitrite reach 0 u should chk the nitrate lvl too rite?

[sjsheng]

well i not really too sure... i only noe when it reach 0 mean it is safe to add fish..

Bwilly, check my response in the other thread where you gave a similar answer.

Theory is there but some facts are wrong.

sjsheng... nitrites must be zero as it is toxic to all livestock.

[sjsheng]

i waiting for hte nitrites to be zero now... cause my anemone die... that why causing the nitrites lvl higher again... well how long will it drop back to 0 ? n should i do 20% water changing every 4days ?

[Tanzy]

Why can't you just wait for it to fall naturally? You don't need those nonsense stuff to absorb it. Stop touching your tank.

[FuEl]

If want try anemone wait for your tank be 1 year old then you add

wah liu.. care to enlighten here for

the benefit of others too..?

play hide n seek darn shack..

under wat thread..? U post so many each

day man..

the other time I posted another thread

on the wrong information written by

Newspaper, no news leh..?

(published Nitrate should be Zero..

should be mistaken Nitrate as Nitrite)

or is it the correct one..? doubt so..

ya.. I thought this another thread..

hehe..

now I remember another guy also posted

but with NO3 = 3 or isit 0.3?

Summarise should be

NH4 (ammonia) = 0

NO2 (Nitrite) = 0

NO3 (Nitrate) = 50mg/L n below

*sigh must be getting excited abt going BKK.. hiakhiak..!*

Shouldn't have put that poor anemone in your newly establish tank. It is quite sensitive to water fluctuations. Instead of spending a fortune on an anemone, put a few damsel fishes to establish the tank before slowly building up your tank inhabitants.

currently i have 3 clown fish inside.. still must add demsel inside? i waiting for my tank to stable cause i wanna keep blue tang...

but blue tang is very sensitive... so sad
