The nitrites level in my tank is out of control!!! Should I do small water changes every day or large ones?? I am surprised my rams are still alive, they must be tuff little suckers. Please advise!!!! :help:

Thanks,

50%-70% water changes daily or 2 times daily, get that ammonia level down to 0.

Edit: I meant to say nitrites :duh: , but get the ammonia down too.

Is this a newly set up tank, or has it been running for a while?
 
it has been running for about 2 months. just added fish about a week ago. Everything was fine until a couple days ago
