NO3 <20ppm
NO2 3
NH3/NH4+ 0
So I ran out of Ammonia testing right? And I bought some testing strips in an emergency because I really need to test before I left for San Francisco. It has Nitrate but not Ammonia! What the heck? Well anyway. I already know that the bacteria are gobbling up the Ammonia so I’m not too worried.
Looky I have Nitrate reading! It is a shade that would land it right about 10ppm I would guess.
Added 1/2 teaspoon Ammonia.
Also we are leaving this afternoon and I won’t be back until Monday. I will have a friend come buy and add Ammonia everyday and test the tank on Sunday.
About Me
- vintagetankgirl
- This is the About Me section, however, this blog is not about me, but my Hobby (way of life). This blog will primarily be used for following the setup and establishment of my newly acquired Vintage 1970s Aquarium. I will be posting pictures and writing about where I have been, where I am now, and where I plan to go with The Vintage Tank (yes in Capitals). I blame (yes, blame sometimes in all CAPS and in a loud voice) my older brother Marlin (who’s name doomed him to fish keeping) on my interest in (obsession with) aquariums. He got me hooked when I was about twelve years old. It has been fourteen years and I am still dangling! The best way to describe my interest in fish keeping is to call it an obsession. I have an obsessive need to have a beautiful tank with beautiful plants and fish despite the lack of time, sleep, and oh yeah, MONEY (thanks a lot Marlin)! This will be my first medium size tank (my first tanks: 5 gallons and 10 gallons also known as small!) The Vintage Tank is about 28 gallons. This blog will be used as both a showcase for The Vintage Tank and also an outlet to “talk” about my Adventures during the setup. Welcome to my Obsession!
