what i dont get is i have the fluval c3 power filter and i swapped out carbon bags for their clearmax bags which is supposed to trap phosphates and nitrites and nitrates also added nitra zorb pack for nitrites nitrates and ammonia + a double does of cycle bacteria and aqua plus to be sure. |
That is not correct, the nitrite solution comes out of the bottle blue, are you sure you are using the correct bottle?? that is either the high ph, or one of the nitrate bottles. You are using just 1 bottle for the nitrite test right? If not then your test kit is defective and needs returning to where you purchased it from. You would only get one of two readings, either a 0ppm level reading which would be that very light blue colour, or some variant of those purples. If there was higher than 5ppm nitrite it would just stay dark purple. If it is none of what I have mentioned then could you do a video of you testing your water, showing the bottles and your procedure? |
video on its way of test procedure |

Is your tank an established tank? has it cycled etc? Adding chemicals to deal with ammonia and nitrites, unless its an emergency and you dose with Seachem prime for example is not really a good idea, the filter and the bacteria contained in your tank should be sufficient to deal with the waste produced by the fish. |
