This is our last weekly lab update for our water testing. Next week is our last week
of school and we only have to go for three days if we dont have to do the finals.
Unfortunately the nitrate went up, so we had to do a water change. As usual we
pumped out the dirty water and put in clean water with a cap (10mm) of ammonia
quill. Hopefully the water change helped the nitrate goes down, that way we dont
leave our fishes in an unhealthy environment. We will probably clean our dragon
and tank glass again next week, because the alga is growing back and hopefully
that will also help with lowering our nitrate. We hope to leave our fishes healthy and
in a clean tank and whoever takes care of them next year will hopefully take really
good care of them.
