My journey with my new 29 gallon long

[Supergummy]

Hi! I'm back! Doing tests tonight!

 

[Supergummy]

Question

My driftwood has leaked a TON of tannins in my tank. How big of a water change should I do?

 

[Brookster123]

Just throw some carbon in your filter..

 

[Supergummy]

I feel kinda dumb asking this question. How?

 

[Brookster123]

Buy a small mesh pouch if fluval activated carbon and stuff it in there

 

[Supergummy]

I'm back! Sry had a very busy week! I'm very happy with the test results! Here's my first pic.

The pics not the best but here's what I think the results are

PH: between 7.6 and 7.7
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 20 to 40 ppm

So where do think I am in the cycle?

 

[Brookster123]

You're cycled!

 

[Supergummy]

When can I add fish?

 

[Brookster123]

4 minutes ago!! Hurry up!!!

 

[Brookster123]

Kidding what's your stocking plan again??

 

[Supergummy]

Yahhh! Thank you so much! What bout plants?

 

[Supergummy]

Here's my stock plan!

6 corydoras duplicareus
6 corydoras incolicana
5 harlquin rasboras
2 apistogramma

 

[Brookster123]

I'd add one shoal of Cory's to start and test for a few days than think about the other shoal if your bb keeps up..

 

[Supergummy]

Ok thx!

 

[Supergummy]

Can I add plants to?

 

[Brookster123]

Ya! Lots and lots of plants!

 

[Supergummy]

What's you suggestions?

 

[Brookster123]

Not to sound rude.. Perhaps a stroll down memory lane in this thread... Severum mama offered up a wealth if knowledge as far as plants and what not

 

[Supergummy]

Ok sry about that

 

[Brookster123]

Please.. I'm sorry, it just seems pointless to re visit what has already been discussed in great detail
