Different Levels of Different Stuff in Our Fish Tank

Photoinception: Taking a photo of a Issac trying to take a photo of 

Stripes; he is unsuccessful with getting a clear picture while I killed 

two birds with one stone.

We used this chart; however, we encountered a problem with pH.

We had to put 2.5 mL of fish water in each of the five test tubes.

We started with Ammonia. It was yellow at first.

Left-to-right: Ammonia, pH, High pH, Nitrite, Nitrate.

Levels:

• Ammonia: 4.0 ppm
• pH: N/A
• High pH: 8.2 ppm
• Nitrite: 2.0 ppm
• Nitrate: 0 ppm

Our Ammonia and Nitrite levels were high, so we had to clean 

some of the tank for Stripes, and add a few drops of a few liquids.

Infiltration Lab

Sand doesn't do a very good job.

Sand and Soil did noticeably better...

Looks like pee, but the liquid is much more clear.

Sand plus Gravel and Soil didn't do as well as we expected.

Looks somewhat murky, right?

Sand plus Gravel plus Soil and Grass wasn't experimented on until two days later, and yet...

You could see it was much more filtered if you looked at it at the right angle.

[This lab was to see how well sand, gravel, soil, and grass filter water solutions.]
