Morning everyone
Just wanted to share my journey so far (plus, who doesn't like a good "atta boy" every now and again)
The good news is that my ammo is dropping from 2ppm to 0 with about 12 hours so I'm redosing back to 2ppm twice a day. pH is holding steady at 7.5. My NO2 and NO3 are both dropping into the readable levels so i know good things are taking place and it shouldn't be much longer now before I have inhabitants. (please let this be sooner than later b/c I am tired of accidentally inhaling whiffs of the ammo !
Oh...just to make sure i understand...it is okay if i let my TopFin40 run alongside my AC50 if for no other reason other than to provide extra filtration? I'm not using the carbon in the media since i have the carbon running in my AC for now. Once i'm cycled, i plan on taking the carbon out and adding an extra sponge to the AC (sponge-->sponge-->ceramic rings). Can I use filter floss in the TopFin to 'polish the water'. If not, well, i can just use the media in there to seed the tank we are putting in my daughters room soon
thanks a million...ppm
