    Thanks again Ok, cool, Sounds good. Yes I'm adding the conditioner each time, cause i don't want chlorine in it. I can 100% restart and look into how to do a fish in cycle. I just didn't want to hurt the fish cause it wasn't cycled yet. Thanks again for the advice!

    Thanks sincerely for the prompt and awesome response! I think that sums up most things. but i think I am doing something wrong still. You asked for a picture of all the levels, so here's a better picture of that. I'm sorry they are not as aligned as they could be. The first vial goes under the...

    Cloudy water, First Cycle, Odd readings

    Greetings, I'm very new to the hobby, and this forum, so if I am doing this wrong, i'm sorry. I'm having a couple issues. Brand new 5 gallon aquarium. Tap water, rinsed accessories. I used API stress coat+ To get rid of the chlorine, and my test strip shows no Cl_2, so I assume that worked...
