Sunday January 25th

Ammonia = trace

Nitrite = 4.8 ppm

Nitrate= 5.0 ppm

Hitch Hikers:  Pods (greatly increasing), Filter feeding crab, snails, Feather Dusters, ton's of other stuff....

The cycle is drawing to an end, once the nitrite drops I'll do a 25% water change and watch nitrate for a week.  So in a couple of weeks I should be able to add some live stock.

 

Monday February 2nd

Ammonia         = 0

Free Ammonia = 0

Nitrite              = 0

Nitrate             = 2ppm

PH                  = 8.2

Alk                 = 2.0

Alkalinity and PH are a little lower than I would like to see.  However, I'm going to dose Kalkwasser for my top-off so that should bring the numbers to where they should be.  I'll probably pick up a fish this weekend, not sure what I want to add to the tank yet most likely a wrasse will be my first new addition.




Still evolving........ be patient
