I'm (again) fighting a nitrite spike in one of my tanks. I did a water change on Sunday and by Monday the fish were gasping and one was dead. I had not even opened any of the filter and didn't do a particularly aggessive job of vaccuming the gravel. I've been doing water changes, adding a sponge filter, swapping out one of the canisters with another tank and finally went and got some Safe Start.
This is very frustrating for me. I'm wondering if my Prime isn't working. I age the water, but sometimes not for an entire 24 hours. Even with aging, I still dechlorinate anyway. I have a new gallon of Prime, but it doesn't smell that weird Prime smell. And when I looked into the jug this morning, I saw a weird black cloudiness. When I did water changes this morning, I switched to a different dechlorinator.
I am very unhappy . . .
