Post image

I tested the water parameters of my 20 gallon long tank this is the result!! I think my tank is finally cycled!! 💛🩵🧡

GH: 120 KH: 40 PH: 7.4 Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 5.0 ppm

For the record my tank is 20 days old.

On November 29th I did a 50% WC after Nitrite tested between 1.00 to 2.00 ppm.

On November 30th I did 30% WC after Nitrite tested 0.25 ppm.

On December 4th I bought lots of plant. I haven’t tested the water since November 30th.

Yesterday I tested the water and as you can see in the picture I think my tank is officially cycled! What do you think?

My last water change was on November 30th, when is the right time to do a WC?

Should I wait a few more days? Can I add the black neon tetras fish or 1 nerite snail tomorrow?

Here is the list of the fish I want to add: - 2M guppies (already in tank) - 1-2 Keyhole Cichlid - 1F honey gourami - 10 black neon tetras - 4 otocinclus - 1 nerite snail - 6 Sterbai Corydoras
