DC now showing on the yellow side of green (thanks Mike) and a second day of near constant pearling. I also found a tiny snail that managed to appear from nowhere but can't see any others so hope he is alone.
Still no signs of any algae yet but having a good look every day. The new plants are all looking good and I spotted some of the older glosso which I thought was dead sprung some leaves and started pearling today. Nice surprise.
I have another question. I hadn't really paid too much attention to the temperature of my tank, as i'm still undecided on what fauna I will introduce. DOes this matter or am I better off by establishing that now? I'm using an inline Hydor filter to reduce gear in the tank and it is all installed and ready to go. Just unsure if I should start that off yet.
I used my test kit again to check everything (I know some people don't rate them but it helps me learn what things are and what the relationships are). I'm still showing high ammonia and nitrites. My guess is this is down to the amazonia and the fact that the filter is still establishing itself. I had added some API quick start, along with the ADA bacter which I thought would help bring the ammonia down. Any ideas?
The guy in my LFS has told me that I should start introducing livestock over the next couple of weeks but I would rather not if this is going to cause any harm. Is he looking for a quick few sales or what?
