Nitrite level in the stress zone. I did a water change to see if I could rectify the problem. How long after can I use the strips to perform the test to see if the change has occurred. I dont want to lose any fish so any help can help.
My levels were good a few days ago and the only thing that I did was add a UV sterilizer. Should I shut it down for a few days to see if there is a change? The water is crisp and crystal clear and all of the fish seem to be healthy and happy no apparent stress at the moment. What made me look into the test and water change was that my Ruby Green (Haplochromis) was not as vibrant and brilliant as he has been for the past week.
Any help
