Okay, here's a good question from the newbie to all you fish experts out there.
I bought my FW master test kit after finding out from my forum friends that it was important to do some testing! For those who didn't see my last post, I have a 20g FW set up 11 days ago. Had 4 zebra danios and lost 1 on the 3rd day the same day my water became cloudy.
I had been considering bio-spira, but decided to test first. I think I'm glad I did. I tested 3x just to be sure but this is what my results showed.
PH= 7.4
Ammonia = 0
NitrItes = .25
Now, my water has become almost clear and these test results are what I have as of yesterday. Is it possible that my tank is cycling this fast? And I have NOT added any chemicals or otherwise to my tank. I wanted to see if I could cycle naturally. I have had to add small amounts of water to keep my level up and I did do 1 small water change the 7th day. So, what do you guys think?
Thanks a bunch!
