Latest Readings - Still too early for fish?

[rsp]

Hi everyone

Just took my latest tank readings this morning (attached)... Using my homebrew Aquarium Management software to keep track of the readings from today onwards.

I'm thinking I need to do a 10% PWC? Also, is it still too early for fish?

Thanks,

Rik.

Do a 20% pwc to be sure wait till tonight and take the readings.

Yes, it's still too early for fish. You're done cycling when your tank can convert 2-4ppm ammonia all the way to nitrates in a 24hr period. You can do a big PWC (75%) and redose your ammonia. Check your readings again in 24 hours and see if all the ammonia and nitrite are gone.

Yes way to early. You should have no readings of ammonia and nitrite.
Just as BigJim said

Agreed. You should wait till nitrite and ammonia both read zero. Your almost there, hang in there

It is still too early, but I commend you for doing a fishless cycle.

Thanks everyone. I am in no rush and the way I see it, I have a responsibility to ensure their habitat is established and maintained correctly.

I appreciate all the advice!
