Nitrites seem high. When was the last time you did a water change?

 

[sai_786]

Today I done 50% water change

Just double checking, how old is the tank? Are there any animal inhabitants? What fertiliser regime are you on?

Hi this is Narendhar

Hi there @sai_786 I suspect the tank is still cycling, don't panic and do a few water changes.

What's your substrate?

The Nitrite level should be zero or super close to zero - like when it gets really hard to tell if the color of the reagent is like the first (blue) or second patch. Just wait it out, the tank is still settling in... You have a good plant-mass, which is essential when maturing a tank, so it shouldn't take too long.

Cheers,
Michael

Your tanks are not cycled. You are not converting Nitrites to Nitrates. Your second tank also isn't fully converting Ammonia to Nitrite.

Can you detail what filtration you're using, what plants and animals are in the tank, what fertiliser and water change regimen you're on?
