| Re: nitrite back at 0.25 It means you added too much at one time...how much did you put in there? My first "clean up crew" additives were 1 snail and 1 hermit crab.

| Re: nitrite back at 0.25 kaboke, you are doing fine. At least you have an idea how yur tank will react to inhabitants. Fluctuations are to be expected. It isn't like you added fish! Don't be so hard on yourself.

| Re: nitrite back at 0.25 LOL. STUPID? I got the market cornered on that! Yaknow, it might be an interesting (and enlightening) to start a thread where we RBs can tell what some of our less intelligent saltwater decisions have been. |

| Re: nitrite back at 0.25 With that attitude you will make a great reefer someday! Being hard on yourself for your own mistakes is a great character trait for this hobby. Another lesson in life. Taking responsibility. What a great hobby! |
