Hi Joe,

Thanx for Returning and the added Thoughts!

I can try the seeding from another tank. Right now, I am just using a 10g w/ regular gravel, cheap HOB and an old internal Fluval 3 Plus filter. I put some floss in the Fluval + 100ml of Purigen and it seems to help. I have 6 good sized comets (2-4") in there. I wouldn't mind setting up a 29g with over-filtration, but I still need to maintain the BBC (Beneficial Baterial Colony) in between arrivals. I've also been using Seachem's Stability--seems like Good stuff.

I've tried different things, but nothing seems to work completely, so far! I guess I will pick up a bottle of ammonia and see what happens. I can easily add drops with an eyedropper. Any thoughts on how much to start with? 1 drop? 2? ...? If it works, I can hook up a DIY auto-doser to dose the ammonia daily.

As an Added thought: I have both Kent's Micro-vent and PhytoMax for fine filter feeding inverts---would the addition of either one of those be sufficient to feed the bacteria? They are just going to waste now......

Hopefully, the BBC and Purigen will help control the Nitrites!

Any more Thoughts are Welcomed!

Thanx!
