That's good! Once you have a ridiculous amount of nitrates, you'll want to do a pwc.

How did the sealing of the tank go?

 

[Nikachu0315]

Pretty good! I have to wait 2 days though??

 

[Nikachu0315]

My nitrites are over going to test water! For nitrates

 

[Nikachu0315]

You should at least be checking ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Without that info it's hard to tell. you'll get there. Remember that patience is key!

I was exactly the same way but if you want it to go smoothly be patient or you are going to be wasting alot of money. Best thing to do is just be patient make sure you keep up on the water changes and jazz and soon you will have spiked and have your cycle done in about a month. I have added clown fish during cycling to help it and have had them survive through the whole thing. Clowns are very hardy if you have to have a fish that's what I would suggest

The only problem is I'm cycling the water in a bucket and my lfs ran out of clowns they are awesome I can get healthy designer clowns for only 5-10$

 

[Kodvenom]

Wow 20$ here

 

[Nikachu0315]

[Kodvenom]
