Around midnight I added 1.5ml of ammonia to create another spike.
I tested this morning about 10 hours later.
NH3 = .05
NH4 = didnt test
NO2 = 15/20
NO3 = didnt test
I am a bit surprised at how quickly free ammonia dropped.
Obviously I have a lot of the bacteria that converts NH3 to NO2.
I will be interested in seeing how the trites look this evening.

Oh i did get the qt temp up to 85 to help speed up bacteria growth.
