 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
 03/28/2019
 0ppm concentration
 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
