The cycle is drawing to an end, once the nitrite drops I'll do a 25% water change and watch nitrate for a week. So in a couple of weeks I should be able to add some live stock.
Monday February 2nd
Ammonia = 0
Free Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = 2ppm
PH = 8.2
Alk = 2.0
Alkalinity and PH are a little lower than I would like to see. However, I'm going to dose Kalkwasser for my top-off so that should bring the numbers to where they should be. I'll probably pick up a fish this weekend, not sure what I want to add to the tank yet most likely a wrasse will be my first new addition.
