Agreed. Also, have your water tested elsewhere just to make sure that you don't have a test kit that is bad.

I agree, I had a bad nitrate test kit. Always showed blood red, and I kept doing water changes each day. Never changed, till I finally had my water tested at a fish store. Turned out to be just my tester.

I had the exact same problem! I'm just gonna toss it out there... API test kit from Tropical? I think there was a bad batch of the trate kits.

i have been adding prime and did water changes i bought some of the bacteria because i upgraded my 29 gallon to this tank which is a 55 gallon and could not cycle it but almost all of my sand is from what used to be an established tank
