Having just completed a fishless cycle, I really want to get some fish but I've read varying opinions on reasonable nitrate levels, some say don't stock unless nitrate is <10ppm whereas others say up to 50ppm is still OK. My current reading is 25ppm and despite doing a 70% water change (after the ammonia and nitrite levels went to zero) followed by a 20% change 2 days later, the level remains unchanged and has in fact done so for the last week or so (it peaked at about 50 mid-way through the cycle)
So, can I start stocking? :?
