Setup a new 10g that'll be a RCS breeding project, put the filter cartridge that came w it in another filter so it would grow BB. Let that sit there for 2 days (this isn't my tank it's my dads and him and my mom are impatient with it ?) and put it into the 10. I tested the water 2 hours after adding that cartridge and a piece of driftwood from another tank. pH was about 7.0-7.2 and ammonia/nitrite/nitrate were all 0. I then searched around and retested nitrate after really shaking the bottle and still got 0. Is this an ok thing to have for now? Is the tank cycled or will it crash with any bioload of significance I add? Ive not new to this but the water chemistry still confuses me sometimes haha, thanks!
