Thanks, GMouse.

Day 5

Not much to update. Checked some params today, and added Flourish Excel and Kent fertilizers again.

A question - is NovAqua (what the LFS gave me) as good as AmQuel or other water conditioners? I can't tell from the bottle whether it gets both chlorine and chloramines, or just chlorine?

Anyway, the parameters:
Ammonia 2.4 ppm
Nitrite 0.1 ppm
Nitrate <5 ppm (I'm guessing zero)
pH 7.8
KH 130 ppm
GH 120 ppm
Phosphate 0.5 ppm

I didn't feel like testing Calcium or Iron...

For tomorrow, I'm planning a big water change, then Bio-Spira/fish
