Joe Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 I don’t understand this. To much crazy yesterday. So I didn’t get to test. Today I test and NH3 = 0, NO3 dropped back to 0, & NO2 jumped to 2ppm.? I can’t see any pods swimming. But that don’t mean anything. I’m starting to wonder about these kits. They aren’t expired.

Joe Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 So got to thinking about not seeing any pods. And that led my to check my filter socks. Guess where I think every pod in the tank was? Lol yep about a billion in there. I turned them inside out and put them back in the DT. Dosed another 70ml of phyto. Ordered some food and will start ghost feeding when it comes in. Once nutrients are up, I will order cheato. music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 I’ve decided since I’ve added phyto and pods. I should probably run the lights. So I’m running them 4 hours a day. 70% Blues & 60% Whites. music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Dosed 40ml of phyto on Tuesday. Will dose again today. The hunt for the fish I want is not looking promising. I did get some ball valves installed. I’ll post pics later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 I’m going to start getting fish in about every 2 weeks after the first shipment until my stocking list is complete. Allowing a couple of weeks to let things settle in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
