Just recently set up my first tank, a 20g standard sized, a little over a month ago in our little boy's room. It has almost completely cycled.
Ammonia -0
Nitrite- .25
Nitrates fluctuating somewhat. Ammonia has been a steady 0 for the last 3 weeks and nitrites have been gradually dropping the week or so. I have 2 pearl Gouramis, 1 Opaline Gourami, 1 Golden Gourami, and 4 corys. May quite possibly upgrade to a 29 gal as the gourami's grow. I think I jumped the gun and stocked it too full to soon but as of right now everything seems to be going smoothly. Have quite a bit of water sprite and plan to add some more plants in the future.
I am thinking about doing a 75 gal in my office in the future. Not sure what i'm going to do but it will either be another tropical tank or maybe even a native tank.
Saw this forum and thought I would check it out as I know I will have lots of questions as time progresses....plus I enjoy looking at aquarium pictures!
