![]() No Nitrate tests tonight. Did one earlier in day, and I'm beginning to get the impression that this may take a while.

![]() When I chaecked the tank this morning I noticed something strange. There was a increase in the ORP and pH readings which were significantly higher than the night before. Did not get a chance to check the drip rate but it seems to be unchanged.
ORP: 291mV pH: 7.81 Not sure if this it a trend but I will make it a point to check in the morning and before lights out. Does anyone have any ideas what may have caused the increase overnight?....normal?

![]() Your system is still quite young. DSB need time to grow their bacteria and micro fauna populations. Like others have already pointed out, it will probably be a month or more before you start seeing results.
