I have been having some water problems in my firebelly toads aquarium. I put them in on Tuesday, I tested the water on Friday and it was high in both ammonia and nitrites so I removed and replaced about 2 gallons. There is only about three gallons total of water in the aquarium. Then yesterday I tested it again and it showed ammonia about .50 and nitrites were really high at 5.0 ppm. I did another large water change. I just tested it now and the ammonia is at 0 but the nitrites are up to .50 ppm.
Should I be doing another water change already today??
How will this tank ever get cycled if I have to do so many water changes?
I'm really worried now because I have to go away in two weeks from Friday till the Monday night. I could change the water on the Friday morning but judging by what is going on right now, that just isn't going to be good enough.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have a fluval 1 for a filter and I put in about 1 1/2 cups of gravel from my cycled tank but it doesn't appear to have helped so far though.
