After hibernating the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fish</span></a> for 4 months without any feeding, they woke up and the water parameters went to critical level - although no ammonia was detected (AOB colony in biofilter was doing good), the level of nitrites went up uncontrollably. Apparently, the NOB colony wasn't healthy. We replaced large portion of water. Nothing changed for some reason. In desperation I added some molasses to the biofilter.
