Hello Everyone,
I am new to owning an aquarium, and I need some direction hopefully you guys can give me some pointers
So i have a 10 gallon tank, with just gravel in at 79 degrees.
I used water tetra tap water safe conditioner and tetra safe start plus for the bacteria.
I am on Day 9 of the cycle the API kit reads:
Ammonia between 4.0-8.0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0-5.0 dark yellow almost orange color, there is not that much Nitrate maybe like .50-1
Ph-7.6
High ph between 7.4-8.0 more on the 8.0 range
My question is am I on the right track?
How much longer should I wait?
What should I look for? or Track?
I am aiming to get my nitrites to 0 ammonia to 0 and Nitrates between 20-40ppm. At that point what level should my PH level be? I am going to put in tropical fish that don't grow larger than 4 inches
Thank You
