Fix your high NITRITES by doing this!

Lets tackle a common hurdle in the nitrogen cycle journey: the dreaded nitrite stall. As aquarists, we understand the frustration and anxiety that can arise when encountering this roadblock in the cycle. But fear not! We're here to shed light on this phenomenon and provide practical solutions to overcome it.
Join us as we explore the causes and consequences of a nitrite stall during the nitrogen cycle. From fluctuating ammonia levels to insufficient beneficial bacteria populations, we'll uncover the underlying factors that can lead to this frustrating setback in your aquarium's maturation process.
Discover effective strategies for breaking through the nitrite stall and kickstarting your nitrogen cycle back into gear. Whether it's optimizing water parameters, enhancing biological filtration, or employing supplemental bacteria supplements, we'll equip you with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate this challenging phase with confidence.

Perfect timing. We set up a 40 gallon 10 days ago. Added Fritz Turbo start and ammonia. Ammonia was at 0 two days later but nitrites high and not dropping much a week later. Do we just wait some more or is there something to speed it up? Love your videos by the way.

[@reefrookies]

If the nitrites are over 5ppm, do a 50% water change to bring them down, then add more Fritz! Thanks for watching!

My nitrates are 25 my phosphate is 0.03, when i lower my nitrates my phosphate also drops. If you dont watchout corals may bleach. I dose phosphate and use vinegar to lower it my nitrates have bin 50 for 2 years now i have corals growing for a year and some sps. I lower nitrates 5 per month. I do 10 procent waterchange a month

Great info. Crazy how our tanks all run so differently!
