Hi ! Brand new to aquariums. Am trying to cycle my 55g tank. It’s been up for 2 weeks. 1st week 2 plates and 1 tetra. Added 2 Dalmatians and 2 Black mollies. 2nd week - had the LFS test my water - all ranges were good so we added 4 GloFish tetras and 2 green Cory’s. End of second week today - my test kit arrived so I tested (LFS peeps are sniffing glue !). They had my Ph at 7.5.
My readings today
Ph 8.3
Ammonia .25
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 35
How will I know when my tank is cycled ? I added the last 6 fish to help get some ammonia in the water to grow some bacteria ... something else I should be doing ?
I have no live plants in the tank.
