Hi all
I need some assistance. I am getting into this hobby and learning everything by reading on forums and watching YouTube videos.
I recently bought a 40gallon aquarium, tidal 55 filter, air pump heater and lots of plants. I used seachem prime on the day of the setup and kept the aquarium running for a whole week. I have been using seachem stability as instructed since day 1. On day 8 I went ahead and purchased some tetras (8). I have been using seachem stability everyday to further establish good bacteria and might be overdosing since the instructions ask to use only till day 7.. It’s been day 11 and the fish look extremely healthy. I have been testing my water for ammonia, nitrite and nitrates every day and I don’t find any traces- all are 0.
Does this mean my tank is cycled and can I buy more fish?
I look forward for your expert advise.
Thanks.
