Hey guys, I'm new here! Currently cycling my tank. I got used filter wool from an aquarium shop yesterday, the readings I got today are:

Ammonia: 0-0.25ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 0-5ppm

The colours are inbetween the 0-0.25 and 0-5

Would you agree with me that it's on its way to cycling? And prime has been used which may account for the ammonia.

Thanks!
 
How long has it been since you started? Fish in or fishless cycle? What type of tank do you Have?
 
I started cycling about 6 days ago. Been using prime and stability. I have one betta in it. Water tests twice a day. It's a 50L tank.
 
Bettas are tough fish in my experience. Do you have any plants? What type of filtration are you running?
 
I have plants, um not sure what filter type. It has those carbon balls, the wool and then these white hollow cylinder things
