Day 7:

February 13, 2009

pH 7.5

NO₂ 0.3ppm

NH₃/NH₄⁺ 1.5-3.0ppm closer to 1.5 and lighter than yesterday

GH 5

KH 4

CO2 4

The bubble wand is still off and the CO2 levels have improved nicely in two days. However, I turned the bubble wand back on right after the test for fear of starving the bacteria I have managed to grow. I really need an O test!

I decided to add more ammonia to the water. Only enough to get closer to 5ppm since I never made it that far yet. That will be the next update!
