Data:
3/12/2019 The test indicated a 0ppm concentration of nitrite *insert image of test*
3/21/2019 5.0ppm concentration This indicates that our level has risen --> sea urchin addition to tank

04/04/2019 0ppm concentration
04/17/2019 0.5ppm concentration After the sea urchins were introduced, the biological filter could not keep up, increasing the concentration of nitrites
04/23/2019 0ppm concentration
