Log Book for March 11, 2004
GreenHab Report
Dennis Creamer Reporting

Readings:

Time: 12:20
Inside Temp: 100F
Outside Temp: 92F
Relative Humidity: 60%

Normal chores in the GreenHab were performed. The chores are pumping gray water into the tanks, watering the plants, and taking temperature/humidity readings.

Measurements Taken:

Tank #1: pH = 8.4 Ammonia = 5 Nitrate = 40 Nitrite = 7
Tank #5: pH = 8.4 Ammonia = 0 Nitrate = 10 Nitrite = 0

These reading were taken using the freshwater scale, as instructed. Color match was inexact, but readings were interpolated, and approximated as closely as possible to the color scale. The coloration for pH in particular, was so intense as to indicate that the actual pH was even higher than the 8.4 value, (highest value given on the color scale).

For the first time during our rotation there was enough flow through the tank system to allow us to fill the TST from Tank # 5. Earlier in the day, about 2.2 buckets were added to the TST.
