I think I've got some work to do here. First priority, get nitrite and ammonia under control. I'm using a dechlorinator for water changes, but I've been thinking about adding some Seachem Stability - 7 day course might do some good. Also, I need to hit up my LFS for some used filter media, see if they can give my filter a boost.

I'm on well water, so I don't have to deal with chlorine.

Just snuck home from work and did a 30 gallon water change on the tank. Drained 30 gallons out, added 18 in. Waiting on the other tote to get up to temp, got a 50 watt heater and power head circulating 18 gallons in there. The temp on that one was 67 when I left, hoping it hits 77 by the time I get home from work tonight.
