Amm. 2.4
trItes scant

added 1 1/2 tsp. ammonia

Finally, amm has drifted down to about 2.9, with trItes scant.   Hooray!  We are on our way!

Driftwood has been soaking all week, with fewer tannins being released everyday.  Hopefully we will get the driftwood in once things are rockin and rollin with cycling.

So the weekend was busy.  We got a Fluval G6 filter, another heater and a beeeeeautiful big piece of driftwood.  We have been soaking the driftwood since Sunday, and already the tannins have decreased.  Scott was wonderful and set up the filter and the heater, and dealt with the pet store when parts were missing.  Filter and heater are working nicely.

As for the cycling of the tank.  Ammonia finally started to drop on Friday, and Saturday it had dropped enough to add more ammonia.  Nitrites also started to show!  Sunday, however, the ammonia was unchanged, and no nitrites were seen.  Huh. Interesting.  Still have to test today, but hopefully things are continuing in the right direction.
