I certainly hope so. The changing levels of ammonia/nitrites leads me to believe the tank might be ready by this weekend for fish. Pretty sure I stalled the cycle by adding too much ammonia due to bad test kits - it's now coming back online. If I am correct, ammonia will have decreased again tonight, and nitrite increased.

Pretty sure we'll be doing fish first, now. Big Al's tent sale has Jumbo Neon Tetras on sale 3 for $2 or something - can't pass that up, assuming the tank is cycled.
