29 Gal. aquarium set up - Page 2

I have some bad news. I came home the other day to see my frogs legs caught in the filter! So I got him out asap and the poor thing was still alive. But I can tell his legs were broken. Needless to say he passed away several minutes after that episode. I thought he was going to die because of the cycling incident but he died in a filter incident ): . Aslo, I know I shouldn't have but I went to the lps to find another frog..then I fell in love with this baby clown pleco so I bought him. He seems happy in his new home. Also got some more plants (:

Well I just did another test and the ammonia is clearing up nicely.

Ammonia: 0 ppm
Ph: 6.6-6.8
Nitrite: 5.0 ppm

Is this okay? When will the nitrite go down?

Also, I can't tell the difference on the nitrite color scale. The 1.0 and 5.0 look awefuly similar. I think I'm just going blind.

Nitrites are more toxic than ammonia. I would be doing some water changes or you will be loosing fish. It take a little while for them to start dropping and changing to nitrates.

Well everything is up to normal now. Here's a few pictures of some new fish.
