Hello Guys
well i have ended my 4th complete week of cycling and testing and below are the results from today's Test
Nitrate 0ppm
Ammonia 0 - .1 (in the middle on color chart)
Nitrite 0ppm
Ph 8.0
Hydrometer 1.021 - 1.022
now my ammonia never peaked above .10, after speaking with my lfs where i bought the LR from they said it was in there tank system for a couple weeks and this is probably normal as it would have been closed to fully cycled in there tanks
i put in 2 astraea snails in today (on the advice of Mr X thank you ) they seem to be moving around although only been in there and hour now,
i'm just wondering if these readings are good for this stage, and suggestions of how i should proceed next, i am still waiting for my protein skimmer to arrive (this week hopefully) and ill set that straight up, and also my t5 ho lighting as well,
so until they arrive ,im not sure how i should proceed
again look forward to your advice,
this forum rocks for advice and i thank you all for your help so far,
Regards
Andrew
