tested params today:

ph:8.11
calc:380
phosphate:1.0
ammonia:0
nitrite:0
nitrate:0

i was surprised that the ammonia, nitrite and nirate were at zero, so i threw in two table shrimp for good measure.

well here's the parameters from today:

PH:7.98
dKH:10
calc:400
ammonia:1.0
nitrites:0
nitrates:0
phosphate:2.0

so basically the table shrimp lowered the ph just a lil bit, and made the phosphate go up,
but it looks to me like my cycle has started, so i pulled the shrimp out (that smelled great)

2 years must have damn near killed you! I'm happy your wait is over. You can spot an Elite tank anywhere with all the fancy routed curves lol. PIMPIN!
