In a Fish Tank
sorry of this is a noobish question but here it is:

After maybe 2 months of cycling, my 100 gallon fish tank is at the last stage of cycling, but there is a problem, What do I do now! My nitrites have risen to really high levels and I wanted to know if I am supposed to do a 50% water change or will the levels go down naturally? Just for everyone to know, this is that same fish tank that i posted about earlier that would never cycle.

Again sorry for the noobish question

ALSO!!! does anybody know any fish stores or breeders in CA in the san mateo county area. Preferbrally with pretty rare goldfish.
Thanks!!!
 
If your nitrites are high then you are not at the last stage yet. Final stage is those nitrites being converted to nitrates where your nitrite will be dropping and nitrate increasing. Not sure how you are cycling? Fishless? If so I would not change the water. If you are using fish then ya do a water change.
 
sorry, my mistake, I found out it wasn't the last stage till right after I posted this.

THANKS
