Mars2: Day 1 - A second trying!

Well here we are, its been well over three weeks since the first batch of eggs were placed in the mars tank and still nothing. I decided to go to Toys R Us and buy a new instant life started kit. I also went to tesco and bought some still water. I sit here now thinking and hoping this is wrong, I believe still is completely different to distilled and just means not fizzy. I really hope they didn't label it in that context :(. Anyway I got home and rinsed the mars tank completely. Then added the still water up to the mark and then stirred in the purifier with the handle end of a make up brush (CLEANED).

Don't forget the aeration, I didn't, the mars tank is COVERED in bubbles, lets just say there won't be any complaints about being unable to breathe. I'm going to wait the whole 24 hours maybe longer before adding the eggs, even though I know this isn't necessary. I would just like to wait and see if the eggs in packet 1 hatch (if I can see through the bubbles). I'll wait around 30 hours and if I see nothing Ill stir in packet 2. But I won't aerate as surely if its a flaming wall of bubbles they don't need more aeration... Anyway I'll leave you for now, my ship tank is doing fine btw, no post needed on that really. I'm going to get a hydrometer soon though as after the incident I wanna make sure its not under saline. C ya!
