Nitrite and nitrate

[sbazain]

yes am really taking into consideration taking the eel to my lfs I know the tank is to small and she's just there not moving and hardly eating this is like giving away your dog but I think its affecting the cycle even though its all dead rock no sand

Do you have a way to post an ammonia reading picture so we can see the level

Just ammonia

going to get rid of the eel giving it to my daughter I think is a huge bio load for a 60 gallon that's cycling she's 2 feet long and weighs about 5 pounds I think

Well that’s an amazing animal you sustained for sure, I hadn’t seen one that old in someone’s tank before yours

I expect it is useless. Nitrite is not toxic in marine systems unless you are talking about hundreds of ppm.

one of the highest bioload per gallon setups I recall seeing it's nice to see how cycling worked on it.
