Hi, All.
New to the forum; thanks for all for sharing your wisdom. This past Sunday, I setup a new 60 gallon tank. We included 8 feeder fish for the sake of getting some things going in the way of bacteria. We also added Seachem's Stability product per Seachem's instructions.
I did a 20% water change on Tuesday.
Today, Thursday, four days since the initial setup, I did a round of testing using the API Freshwater Master Test Kit. My results are as follows:
pH: 7.6
Ammonia: .25 ppm
Nitrate: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 0 ppm
Water Temp: 73.9 F
Per the noted results, I would like to get some feedback. As I stated, we have some feeders in the tank now for the mere cycle. These will go away and be replaced by other fish.
Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts and comments.
