    I did alot of research about your One and Only product and decided to try some out on my new 125g build. I used dry sand and dry rock and filled it using an 8oz bottle of your Saltwater bacteria. My Ammonia stayed around 2-3ppm for a week before my nitrites started to rise. Its been about three and a half weeks and my nitrites are still super high (API kit only goes to 5ppm but it immediately turns dark purple)

    A week ago I added another 8oz bottle still no change. Thanks for your time,

    Alex

    Sorry for the very late answer. The problem is that you let the nitrite get too high. As we try to make clear on our site you need to keep the nitrite below 5 ppm nitrite-nitrogen or the cycle will stall.
