Recap - My tank is only just over four weeks old, and I have had fish in it since day 10. I've been doing water changes for three days since I just learned that I didn't cycle first. I think I have ich or maybe a bacterial thing, so I just bought some Melafix that I haven't tried yet.
My test kit finally came in!
Readings:
Ammonia - between 0 and .25
Nitrates - 0
Nitrates - 0
PH - between 8 and 8.4
Am I just beginning the cycle process?!? Could it also be that since I vacuumed the gravel during the changes I disrupted the cycle? At least my fish are alive..... so far.
