Today Shawn had the day off and we went to Wet Pet. Again. I'm freaking sick of going up there. This was my last trip for a while, and I was happy (knock wood) that I didn't have to go up with a dead ram. So far, so good with them. I returned my stupid light that didn't work and exchanged it for the same Coralife HO T5 fixture I have on the 55g. And of course I got stuck with an actinic and had to buy a 6,700k. At least they replaced the bulb for me, and I had them plug it in to be certain it did indeed work. I also picked up an Amazon Sword and the ball of Java Moss I'd forgotten to get on Saturday.
When I got home I plopped the two of them in there, and before I did so I poke at the substrate for a while to release any trapped gases (hence the cloudy water in the photos). I found a worm in there but couldn't catch him. I have no idea if he's alive or what that could do, damage-wise, to the parameters.

I added my first dose of ammonia yesterday. About a teaspoon. Added filter media from the 55g: a sponge and a biowheel I'd stuffed in there.
Today's readings: NH3: 2, N02: 0, NO3: 0, pH: 7.6.
Meanwhile, there was trouble...
