Day 21:

February 27, 2009

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.
