Well after what seemed like forever(5 weeks+), it looks like my fishless cycle is finally complete

. Nitrite had been at 1-2ppm for a long time. I did my normal 6 am check of nitrite yesterday and it read 0 @ 24 hrs and nitrate had finally risen to 60ppm, so I did my dose of 2-3ppm ammonia as usual. Later in the day, I then rechecked at 4pm as always to see where it was at. Nitrite was 0 at 10 hrs!! I will continue on to confirm for a few more days.

What are your thoughts on this stocking plan, remember 72g bowfront.

5-6 Rose Line Torpedo Barbs
6-8 Cories
6- Danios, for the top level, any other suggestions?
1 BN pleco, later
1 pair kribs, later
 
I would double up the top three...
 
Yes I do think I will up the Zebra Danios to a dozen, maybe a few more Cories. The torpedos get to be 5", doubling that number seems like too much, no? And they're $25 apiece too:eek3:! Plus I really would like to get the others on the list at a later date.
 
here is a good rule of thumb, the more corys you add, the happier you will be. Its hard not to be happy when watching those little guys fly around the tank.
 
LOL, I've read that!
