ok so i got my 26 gal bow front set up and running , its a fw tank for right now until i lookup the fish that i want and figure out if ill do brackish water. but any way jus a few questions...what are my levels suppose to be at? like ammonia level, nitrite and nitrate, and ph...i have a test kit but idk whats the right level.
also i used stress zyme as a biological cycle started...i no i no suppose to use ammonia but i just had stress zyme handy. but i really havent seen any change in the levels (i added it at about 6pm ish and it is almost 10 pm)- so when should there be a spike in my levels? like after 24 hours?
if stress zyme doesnt do anything i will try something else, i got a snail so that he could poop in the tank and kinda get things goin...but he died 5 min after he scooted around in sand sad moment but il b ok lol
my tank consists of playsand (friend is using it and it works great plus its only 3$), 2 fake silk plants, and a large fake wood thingy with holes for swimming thro, filter works great but.....my heater is not working so gotta get a new one, and of course a light. my tank is really clear just not to sure bout the whole level things (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, etc...)
