FOCUS!!!!! Looks good to me, as long as the top one is 0.0. I f you hold down the camera button partway on most cameras, it will show you where it is focusing....

looks like a urine sample. You sure that's your tank sample and not another test? lol :ezpi_wink1:

Good point though, I find it hard to match the sample with the sheet myself sometimes.

Check the nitrites and nitrates. You should have 0 nitrites as well. If your nitrates are now high as they should be, just do a large water change and add your fish. DO NO cleaning of the tank for awhile and don't change the filter or you'll set it back.

Nice job going fishless!

Yes, that's right. I forgot you were using your fish. But the cycle results are the same.

Use the macro setting for pix such as this...
On most point and shoot digitals its either the setting with the flower logo or "close up" setting. It allows the camera to focus much closer.

just waiting for it to clear up right now. if it doesn't clear up when i get back at the end of this week on it's own i'm going to start working on it with water changes and chemicals.
