So I started a tank about a month ago with ADA soil. There is wood and seiryu stone in it. I let sit in a bucket for 5 days and boiled. My Ammonia is 0.25, Nitrate is 5ppm, and Nitrite is 5ppm which really confuses me.
Im running 2 Azoo filters.
I did a 50% water change and it still said 5ppm
I did a 90% an hour later and the test still says 5ppm.
Could it be something leaching the nitrite? I've read that ADA soil only releases ammonia. But i have pressurized co2, my tank is heavily planted, plants are doing great, pearling like crazy. I was dosing EI method, but stopped recently.
