A "friend" recently gave me a 125 gallon set up with Fluval 5 canister filter. I have been reading and researching endlessly, decided on a freshwater tank with artificial plants. I am currently fish in cying. It's going good so far but not getting nitrites to start. I discovered our tap water has 2.0 ppm ammonia. I use prime to treat water and reading with API master test kit the lowest reading I can get is .5 ppm ammonia. I also use stability to help BB cycle start. Have done few 20% water changes. I am guessing the ammonia my test is reading is unharmful ammonia?? Also my ph is steady at 7.6 and temp is great.
Also need some help checking my projected stock list.
