Cycling continues...

Observations

  • The nitrite spike I recorded yesterday has went back to normal, but the other readings, including the pH reduction, remains constant.
  • The chives appear to be having the most active growth right now.
  • The water itself is crystal clear. It may have been this way yesterday, but I especially noticed it today.
  • The weather outside has gotten a bit colder today(54ΒΊF(12ΒΊC)). As a result, the tank's temperature has dropped to 20ΒΊC and the water heater is on. I originally purchased the water heater for a five gallon tank. Although I don't recall whether it can handle ten gallons, the heater may have to be replaced.
