[tankboy_taylor]

Well I decided to take the plunge and setup a 46g tank Im a total newb and listened to the lfs waited 24 hours and added ten fish.....

I finally start getting some info mainlyhere and other sites and learn I should hae cycled my tank (

Anyhow I relize my error and wouldlike to do everything I can to keep my new fish as healthy as possible

So far I have been doin 25% pwc every other day and been testing so far all im getting is around .25 ammonia so far no nitrites or nitrates this is after about 15 days

I would be greatful if I could get some advice on what to do next and what I should do when i do see nitrites

thanks in advance

You should start to see nitrites in the next week or two. Same goes for nitrites as goes for ammonia...keep the level at or below .25.

well your doing what you should be doing. i would bump it up to 50% water change and keep testing.
