Did you do a fishless cycle? Give us a little more info about the tank.

YOUR TANK IS NOT CYCLED. you never had a source of ammonia, how do you expect to grow the bacteria in your filters? having running water alone is not gonna do anything, even if you had 2 small fish that died a while ago. i suggest you go back and read what i wrote in your thread

Just a little FYI: If you want more responses to a thread just "bump" it to get some more answers. No need to start a new thread with the same question.

Yes, my tank IS cycled, it has gone throug all of the signs for it to be cycled, fish, food, cloudy water, sick fish from bad water conditions, dirty filter and clearer water to very clear water. It just wont remove the very last trace of nitrite, it is still at .25

Then it's not done cycling. Or your nitrite test kit is bad.

He didn't say his pH was 10, that was his nitrate.

pH of 10 would be milk of magnesia!
