so i'm not really sure what's goin on with this tank. i kind of neglected it for a few days. i didn't test it at all, just threw in a cap full of ammonia each morning. i tested it this morning and got ~0.5 ppm ammonia, and 1ppm nitrite. i'm going to test it later on today, maybe the fact that i added the ammonia a little later in the day yesterday has something to do with it. i'm not really in a rush to add fish so it's not a huge deal. we still have to get the second filter set up. when we do i think i will add some more filter floss from the 20g which will hopefully solve and cycling issues.
i just noticed as well that the temp in the tank is just about 90. i hope that didn't kill off my bacteria. i just turned the heater down a bit, i think the heat wave might have had something to do with that.
