Ammonia 0.25
So today is day 1 of the re-start!This morning I checked the ammonia and was surprised to fihd its low level at 0.25 given that I left the tank untouched for so long.Steps I made today:1. I had immediately disconnected the Fluval filter2. Rinsed the media in the filter body3. Thoroughly rinsed the filter floss in the filter body5. Dumped the water out of the filter body in the toilet (the water was brownish, but much lighter than a month-two before.6. Re-assembled the filter and refilled it with water form the tank7. Turned the filter back on. 8. Scooped the decayed plants remains from the fuge.9. Added 1 bucket of fresh (unsalted) water treated with Aqua Safe or something of that sort.10. Scrubbed the hair algae off the front glass.Status: all equipment seem to be working fine.
Equipment:
- Fluval 204 canister filter
- CPR AQ Fuge
- Power Head (to pump CPR)
- 36Wt Actinic Light (day interval)
- 2 LED Moonlights (night interval)
- 9 Wt bulb lighting the fuge at night
- 200 Wt heater in the fuge
Livestock: doubtful, except for plethora of green Hair Algae and Coraline Algae.
