Hey,
After 3.5 weeks, my cycle has been established in my 29g freshwater tank. A big thank you to the smart and helpful posters on this board. I've read over so many threads and posts and I've learned a lot. Earlier tonight, my readings were:
pH - 7.4
Ammonia - 0ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
Nitrate - 80ppm
So one big water change later (my hands are like prunes!) my nitrates are at 5ppm. I re-dosed a bit of ammonia so the bacteria have something to eat. I'll re-test tomorrow morning and if everything's good, I'm off to Big Al's to stock up. Thanks again!
