Scratch that. I lifted the hood up x.x

All the more reason to get to the hardware store . It's also much easier to regulate and track the ammonia you're using to grow the bacteria with the pure stuff. What's the ammo at now?

 

[momo]

Between. 25 and. 50

 

[eco23]

Yeah man, we've gotta get it much higher. Can you run to Ace tomorrow?

 

[momo]

I might be able to. I dont know yet though. You know how life can be.

 

[eco23]

Do your best to make a pit stop there if you want to really get things moving. Once you can get it dosed up to around 4ppm, it's just a waiting game...and things start moving quickly.

 

[momo]

Ill do my best. Ace is downtown, way out of the way. But alright. Ill report back tomorrow. Take it easy. Night

Lol!! That's why I didn't use any shrimp in mine! That ammonia will probably be relief for you.

My girlfriend was disgusted. Intell i told her it was the shrimp not my room.

 

[momo]

Im standing here doing a happy dance of joy and releif. I have... Nitrites! It may only be between zero and .25 but they are there! The best dog gone nitrites around and you better beleive it. :]


Correction!!! Over. 25!

 

[momo]

All the stink and stank is paying off. My room smells like a dirty sock if you held it up to your nose... But worse and more intense. I do not recomend cycleing with shrimp for ammo!

 

[eco23]

What's the shrimp bringing your ammo level up to?

 

[momo]

What's the shrimp bringing your ammo level up to?

Little over four. Maybe five.

 

[eco23]

Cool, it's getting started! Still try to find the pure ammonia for obvious reasons.

 

[momo]

Im not as worried about it now since its rolling. But i am still going to try.

See im 17 w\ no car so i gotta barrow one of my parents and there work times vary to the extreems so its difacult to get downtown to ace.

 

[eco23]

Hope you like the smell of seafood.

 

[eco23]

If you like seafood now, you might not anymore after this, lol.
