Very cute! I understand not wanting to wait.
How are your nitrites looking? I started my tank with some substrate from my BIL's tank whish has been running for a while and my ammonia is at 0 bt my nitrites are HIGH!
I read somewhere it should take 3-4 days for the nitrites to go down but it's taken well more than that.
I actually don't even have a reading for nitrites yet. Probably because the tank has only been running for a week since I started anew. Ammonia is still 0 after four days.
