2.5 week cycle

[blizowman1]

so first i guess i should start by saying i started the tank on the 5th its now the 23rd at 1:02 a.m. and i have just finished testing the water and i may be mistaken but i think it is done cycling. I took a couple pics of different angles so i could get a second opinion, so tell me what you think.

heres a pic of the tank

i started with 8 neons by the end of the first week i had 4 die....i know fishless cycle fishless cycle well i did fish-in cycle after i lost 4 neons i figured i would try something a little more hardy( since i made a rookie mistake and all). so at the end of the first week i went and bought 10 zebra danios( i think i got albino cause they have white stripes not black). i put those in and took the filter media from my other already established fish tank and swished and squeezed and added a bottle of tlc smart start and now a week and 3 days later ive got a cycled tank (i believe)

let me know what you think

Yes, your numbers look like your cycled! I would test for a few more days just to be sure and then stock very slowly & conservatively over the next few weeks with daily tests to allow your bb to adjust upwards as you increase the bioload. Right now, your bb as cycled to your present stock (and no higher) so make sure as you add new fish you are testing & doing water changes if you see any spikes in amm/nitrite. Wait for your numbers to zero out again before adding more fish. Good luck & congrats!!
