c'mooooooon cycle!

A bit weird though, just a few days ago I was showing noticeable Nitrate levels..now all of a sudden they're zero and Nitrites are still really high...but they've always shown pretty high...wondering if it's a faulty test kit. I'll have to test the RO water tomorrow to see what it shows and possibly get the LFS to test it just to triple check. Almost 4 weeks into the cycle, which is the longest it's ever taken for me to cycle a tank. grrrrrrr

Oh my god this thing has been cycling since last year.

had to be done.

Diatom bloom in full effect though, so you know. that's happening. Doing a partial water change today and then hopefully this weekend head down to Melbourne and pick up the beginning of a clean up crew!

FINALLY. Nitrites are starting to drop, Nitrates are on the climb. Going to pick up a new car (well new to me) next week and it just happens to be in the Deer Park area...guess I'll have to swing by and grab some stuff for the tank!

...and it just happens to be in the Deer Park area...

That could be dangerous, lots of space in that new car!
