Hello all. Well, the nitrites in my tank have went down....(ther are now 0.8 mg/l versus being off the charts.) Ammonia is also 0.....but I still dose everyday to feed the bacteria. Checked nitrates today also.....they are high,between 50 and 100mg/l. But I'm wondering......would it be a good/bad thing if i threw in a packet of bio-spira???I know i'm almost done with my cycle,but it couldnt hurt to add bacteria...and further speed up my cycle....could it?

Once nitrites start to fall, they fall rapidly. You are 'bout there, IMO and adding more culture would be like re-boiling a boiling cup of water.
