The nitrite does tend to disappear like magic! :D
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!

Does this mean it’s done? After a few more days of making sure? It looks blue and yellow to me? 🤞

If you get three days of double zeros then it's done (I take it you are still adding ammonia....).

Yeah I’ve been adding it every day and the ammonia has always gone back to 0, it was just the nitrates that weren’t budging!

3 days of that and you’re good to go. It’s amazing how quickly those nitrite munchers catch up once they get going.
