Okay. Got sick of water looking like weak tea (from driftwood). Did 50% water change. Tested water; nitrites were still off the charts! Did another water change; they went down to zero. Added more ammonia; this morning, had .5 nitrites. Added more ammonia, as per usual. Maybe they were taking so long to come down b/c of a buildup? Will see how things proceed.

They're on my friend's camera right now.
Last night, I ate crawdads - the caf has amazing food on holidays. I had to crack them open and pull them apart with my fingers... I felt like a pufferfish!
