First I apologize at the start, I tried to educhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002DH0QM/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1ate myself by reading but I am sure I know very little still.
I bought a EHEIM Aquastyle Nano Aquarium and I put down on it caribsea eco-complete planted aquirium . It arrived last week, and I basically just plugged it all in and laid out the substrate and turned it on.
The next day I walked past an Aquarium store (total coincidence), and they sold me Microbe-Lift Special Blend (which I used and smells horribly).
I used tonight the API Freshwater Master Test Kit (i saw it was recommended everywhere so I went with it), and did my first test.
The only item I see that is high is the PH. My questions are:
is this a good start?
any advice on what is the next step?
is it to soon to buy a plant?
if I buy a plant what plant should I get?
Should I consider getting a fish or just wait until PH is lower?
And if anyone feels I should get a fish, i need a real plan I got none on how to stock the tank?
Thank you all for reading my start of this journey and any feedback you might have.
