my tank is cycled

[dsaavedra]

today's readings:

ammonia- 0
nitrite- 0
nitrate- 10

this is compared to last weeks:

ammonia- 0
nitrite- 1
nitrate- 15

i'll be positive when i repeatedly get zero ammonia and nitrite, but as of now, i'm pretty sure my tank is cycled!

If you are adding ammonia (or fish are) and getting those readings for a week I would call it cycled.

:bday:

Congratulations Dsaavedra. That will probably be the hardest thing you will ever do to care for tropical fish.

 

[PuppyFluffer]

Excellent! Now what are you going to put in there?

Looks close to cycled if not completely!

 

[dsaavedra]

forget tropical fish!

i keep native fish :headbang2:

i've had this tank stocked from the start, so i guess it doesn't feel like such a big accomplishment to cycle it now since it isn't like i can finally add fish.

but it's definitley good to know that my biofilter is well built up now
