I've got nitrAtes!

[Sahabo]

Well it took me almost 3 months, but my tank is finally cycled Woohoo! Thanks to all of you who helped me throughout the process...I really appreciate it! Now I can help other newbies

Congrats!! Isn't it a wonderful feeling of satisfaction?! Are the Nitrites and Ammonia at zero too?

 

[Sahabo]

Yes, they are! Woohoo! But woops! I meant to post this in the FW section

 

[An t-iasg]

Congrats!

Moved to the freshwater forums! I wondered why you were posting in the SW forum!

 

[cogburn]

why are you talking here... go buy fish already

 

[neilanh]

PWC first - but yeah, go buy fish. pictures required.

Congrats!

 

[Sahabo]

buy fish?? Sorry folks but this was a fish-in cycling with my betta. Didn't know any better when I started. Happy to say he survived the process. Next time fishless for sure. I would like to buy him a tankmate but I'm still debating what to get...shrimp, snail, another fish of some sort...

 

[neilanh]

That's right, I forgot.

Well, pics are still required as part of the celebration none-the-less.

 

[Sahabo]

cycled tank pics, as requested

i've still got a lot to learn about aquascaping, but it's coming along...i'd like to find plants i can plant in the gravel with my low light. and i can't seem to find a background that Corwin won't flare himself to death at

Looks pretty cool, despite your own misgivings on your talent. He sure looks happy to me.

 

[Sahabo]

Hey thanks! He's a pretty happy camper and I am loving this hobby more and more!

 

[marchmaxima]

you go girl! Well done!

 

[spilzer]

I suggest some Anubias as a low-light good-in-gravel plant. Mine grew like weeds even before I upgraded to med-light and EcoComplete.

 

[Sahabo]

thanks sharon!

will look for some anubias

Congratulations. For a background why not paint it black? I have a betta that flares like crazy too. My other one doesn't at all. It's just personality.
