At some point I will migrate the posts from the other thread.
No pics today just a little verbiage.
My tank had been going now since January 23, 2020. Over the weekend I got the tank set up the way I like it. The hard scapes are placed inland the substrate is set. I got my airation and lighting set. Finally I got fish introduced to the tank along with a cycle booster.
Today's tank deed was to check the levels to see if anything had happened in 2 days. I was foing to check on Tuesday but I decided to use monday as my check days.
So 24 hours after filling the tank I took a case line of the levels.
Results were:
PH: 7.8
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 10 ppm
KH: 6 drops (I'll have to check out what ppm that is)
Today all that changed was the Kh dropped to 5 drops and the Nitrate dropped to 5 ppm. If this is going to be the trend then I will add another school of fish this weekend. Followed by a school of coradoras the following payday. (I believe that's what they are called. It's a bottom feeding catfish).
I would like to try a school of blemies but I think they a slight bit aggressive. I can't remember. Anyhow I want something that about 2 inches full grown, colorful, schooling and will get along with tetras and mollies.
