Hi guys,
I'm new on this foruml Nice to meet you all! I've recently started my first aquarium - a 29 gallon tank and I've been doing a fishless cycle for the past two weeks.
A little background about my setup:
-It is a 29 gallon, planted tank - roughly...15-ish plants?
-On Nov. 13, I set up my tank and had everything running. De-chlorinated my water and dosed it with around 3 or 3.5 Ammonia (Austin brand)
-On Nov 14, I got some filter floss from my (It was part of a really huge healthy cichlid tank (large bioload))
-On Nov. 19, I dosed my tank with Dr. Tim's Nitrifying bacteria.
-Yesterday, Nov. 25, I saw my first Nitrites were .25 and Nitrates were 5 ppm.
-I've attached a photo of my testing results today.
Does anyone know where I am in the fishless cycle process? Is there anything that I haven't done but should be doing? Thank you very much!!
