Yup, just keep going and it will eventually go away
If you'd like to see this, test your tub water soon after the change, so you see some results Swish/rinse the rocks in the old water before your WC When I cooked mine, I did 100% changes weekly and it took about 3 months to go from 1.5 NO3 and 0.5 PO4 to zero on both You're not hurting any significant levels of bacteria by changing the water as they reside in the rock, not the water column The bacteria that feed on ammonia, nitrite and nitrate will always be there, and their numbers will rise and fall with the levels, so no worries about them not being present What kit are you using for nitrates, and how old is it ? Are you testing for phosphates ? Are you using a heater and powerhead in your tub ? Do you have something over the tub to block light ? Last edited by gregzz4; 12-12-2012 at 01:13 AM.
