Hi guys thanks for the help I’m new to the site and a fairly new fish owner.
I just bought a 30g fresh water tank and a Red tail black shark. (I’m upgrading to 30g from my currently running 10g) i transferred 3 gallons of water, a few decorations, my 2 phantom tetra, 1 candy cane tetra and my used 10g filter to start and hopefully speed up the cycling process. (Which probably also started a mini cycle on my 10g, that I believe already finished cycling) I’ve been adding microbelift special blend daily. Added water conditioner when setting up the tank. All fish seem to be doing great.
My plan is to move the rtbs into the 30g tank and put the 10g in storage. The problem is when I check the water parameters, everything reads 0. Nothings expired. I started the process 3 days ago on Sat Jan 2 2021.
Tested everyday
Both tanks read as follows:
Temp 78F
Ammonia 0 ppm
Nitrates 0 ppm
Nitrites 0 ppm
PH 7.0
Does anyone know if my tanks are cycled?
How long should I wait to throw my rtbs in the new tank?
