The salinity did drop a good deal the next time I checked it. My hardest time is reading the ammonia though... it is all the same shade of green to me.

Anyway new readings as of yesterday.

PH: 8.4ish
Nitrate: 10
Nitrite: 0
Ammonia: .25
Gravity: 1.022

I do need to add more sand. Am going to purchase 2lb of grunge after the holidays.

Also am going to buy that hydrometer that sits in the sump from River City.
