Aquarium Advice Apprentice
So I am on day three of cycling my newly established 75 gallon freshwater.
I am running a cascade 1000 filter system and have added the stress+coat on the first day. I have also put in the nutrafin cycle biological aquarium supplement for the last three days. All I have thus far is water and gravel, no plants or fish...yet.
As a newbie, I have checked the levels of my tank at least twice a day. The readings this morning were:
NO3: 5
NO2: 0
Hardness: Very Hard
Chlorine: 0
KH: High
PH: 7.8
Are these safe levels for starter fish or do I need to do something to stabilize before I introduce fish?
Thanks!!!!
