This morning ammonia was zip as were nitrites. Now I should be able to go back to a 10 percent water change per day.

I've got a homemade iron filter on line to keep iron out of the system and will have a second one on line soon, which will make one for each tank.

The iron doesn't hurt the fish at the concentration I'm adding but it builds up on the RBC which reduces space for the beneficial bacteria. It also looks disgusting.

The fish seem to be eating the artificial feed but not as aggressively as I'd like yet.

No morts after just one and no moribund fish.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
