20 day Cycle of 75 gallon tank

[friendly75]

Great Thanks to the advice given here on this page as I have completed my first fishless cycle in just 20 days.
I did my 24 hour check and got home from work early so in 18 hrs these are the results I got. Now I have to figure out the stocking plan soon as I was not expecting to get this far so soon.

One last question, since nitrates are so high should I do a water change now or do I simply keep the colony alive with daily doses of ammonia and just let them build up till 24 to 36 hours before stocking.

I have ordered my build led light fixture today so I will have it soon, as I am also going to add plants.

pH 7.8
Am 0ppm
Nitrites 0ppm
Nitrates 80 ppm

Wish I could get my pic of my results off phone.

Whenever I do it I ignore the nitrates and do a large water change before adding fish. I had plants in at the time so I assumed they would appreciate having the nitrates around (within reason at least...)

You need to get those nitrates down, I'm changing water if they hit 20ppm and your at 80ppm.
