A few weeks ago we restarted a marine tank. It is 270 liters and we have 2
clowns and 2 damsels in the tank. We have came accross a nitrite and
amonia
problem that we can not seem to get rid of. We have put some bio balls in
the tank along with some "Easylife" and that seemed to have helped with
the
amonia but the Nitrite is still high. We even went as far as a complete
water change as a last resort.

Can anyone sugest what we can do as we are at our wits end.



Your tank is still cycling.
Remove your fish to your LFS until your tank fully cycled.
During the meantime, remove BIOS-balls. Use RO water or any water from 5ppm
max to non-detectable rating from TDS meter. The amonia /nitrite / nitrate
should be low or not detectable before you have your inhabitant.

Do you have a good protein skimmer? This may help fight or reduce nutrient
from your tank.
