I did do a water change this afternoon. Ammonia looked to be on the card around .50. Sev is showing great color, is just a lil shy. has found a great hiding place under the huge piece of driftwood i got. lil sucker is hard to see under there. Sev costs me 9.99 at my LFS!!!!!!!!! I will keep the ammonia down no matter what it takes. i am committed to do this right. Will test again tonight to see what changes the water change made, and if need be will do another one in the morning before work.
