My tank has been set up for over a month now, and Stella has probably been in there about 3-4 weeks.
Test results:
PH - 7.2
Ammonia - 0
I have an ammonia block in there aswell as some frozen brine shrimp, which is probably why the level is so low - is this correct?
Nitrite - 2.0
Nitrate - 5.0
I just got my tax return estimate back so in about 5 weeks or so, when I can work out my budget I might buy a bigger tank and let it cycle following those procedures, but until then Stella is back in her tank - I put the cold water that she was in back in her tank, after removing some of the warmer water, so the temperature levels wouldn't be so different, but I probably should've left her out for a while - read the post after I put her back in the tank.
I can't leave her in the fridge b/c my parents are getting annoyed at her being in there.
Her gills seem to have grown a bit longer also. What does that mean?
I also took the nitra-zorb pack out. The above readings were just done and the nitra-zorb pack has been out for two days.
Any more advice would be welcome.
Thanks!
