Today on Dec. 1, 2015 we did our weekly watering testing and again our nitrite
came out too high, so for the fourth time we had to do another water change. We
were really getting tired of having to do so much water changes that we decided to
ask our teacher if there anything else we can do to make the nitrite lower. Our
teacher suggested that we changed our filter cartridge, so we did are water change,
then we put in a new filter cartridge. We also add in a cape and a half of ammonia
quill (10 mm) to clean the tank. We hope this works and we wont have to do
another water change.
