Thought my snail was dead today. I was going to take it out but turns out he was just hibernating again I guess. He started moving around tonight. The little crabs are all over the place trying to find something to eat. I do notice a little thin grayish/clear film starting to cover things around the tank.
Started to extend the hours my lights run. Actinics go from 12p - 9pm and 10k's go from 1p-8pm. Hope that gets some algae going for these guys that hitched a ride into my tank.
Collection bucket and sensor switch performed another successful test run today all on it's own. Still getting the skimmer dialed in. Will probably have to do that again once I start adding critters in the future.
Another little water change this morning.
8pm Tests
temp: 80.3 ^
SG: 34 -
pH: 7.9 -
ORP: 117
Ammonia: 0 -
Nitrite: 5 -
Nitrate: 20 ^
Hope that means the off the chart nitrites are starting to be turned into Nitrates.
