Just tested my water again today, and found that my nitrites dropped to almost nothing. Two days ago, ammonia was at 0.25ppm ish, nitrite was 5ppm, nitrates where around 40-50ppm. Ammonia and nitrates are about the same, nitrites are the only thing that dropped. This is my first saltwater tank setup (3 weeks old today); it is a 5 gal with live rock and sand. Have been trying to get my salinity down as well, which is perfect today. However, last night, I added more water to reduce the salt readings. The water has also been slightly cloudy for the past 1-1.5 days. Adding to the list, there is a cloudy film on top of the water, which I had a week ago, but it disappeared when I changed from an old HOB filter to a new one. I dont have a skimmer, but now I am considering. Does the nitrites, cloudiness, and film have anything to do with one another? Why are the nitrites gone, but ammonia is not? Thanks for the help in advance!
