Hey, your problem is that the spaces you enter in your message don't come up when we are looking at it, so your table doesn't align and it makes it much harder to read.

You need to change your format, I tried reading these things but it's just impossible.... take a look at your previous posts. It won't work because spacing doesn't come through. This is due to the fact that HTML in the webpages doesn't format any more spaces than two - this is so people can code, otherwise we'd have random spaces all over the place in every webpage ever made.

Stop trying to use a table format and just stick to something like:

Day 3
NH3: 4 ppm
NO2: 0 ppm

or something

Ok will change format tonight

Also it makes more sense to do it in the order of

NH3
NO2
NO3

As this is the direction the ammonia will be going. At the mo you have it

NO3
NO2
NH3

Which made me go lol

Will be posting latest stats after tea, just been battling with IE8.

NH3 1.2
NO2 4.0
NO3 25

It -is- beginning to look like your mature media seeding took hold and is doing something there deg. You wouldn't be getting a nitrite reading of 4 otherwise. That's good news I'd say.

[Miss Wiggle]

yup looks good, and readings make much much much more sense like that as well!!!

 

[waterdrop]

gad, its so satisfying when she agrees

Day 7 Stats (Did the tests twice to confirm)

NH3: 0.1
NO2: 4
NO3: 0

 

[degsod]

Waterdrop, from the above figures can i assume that the NH3 level is practically at 0 so i can add more ammonia?

 

[waterdrop]

sure!

 

[degsod]

Thanks its alwys good to have a second opinion on these things. This is the first proper fishless cycle that i have done.
