Ah great I'll go for 3ppm then! But today I have nitrates of 0.50ppm !! Havent checked my nitrates yet as I had an emergency with one of my rattys :(

So my nitrate level has been consistantly 10ppm which is the same as my tap. Yesterday it was definetly 20ppm in the tank. Tuesday evening: Ammonia - 4ppm (dosed back up) Nitrites 0ppm and Nitrates 10ppm. Yesterday: Ammonia 2ppm, nitrites 0ppm and nitrates 20ppm

So I'm on day 7 of my cycle... fishless cycle I should say. I orginally dosed tank to 4ppmish and added mature media, media squeezings and seachem stability. Unfortunately I ran out of stability on day 3 but that should arrive tomorrow... anyway So only in the last 2 days has my ammonia really...

Thank you, yes one of my local lfs stocks them so going to call ahead of getting them to make sure they have enough

Thank you for the informative reply! Okay I'll skip the angels. I love cichlids but obviously limited in this tank. I'll find out my parametres for you now! My substrate is sand so ready for corys or kuhlis once tank is cycled. I'll get back to you in a second.

*** potentially keyhole cichlids instead of something? But not sure

I'm in the process of cycling a 180l tank and am a little stuck on what stock with. My stocking ideas atm are 1 or 2 Angels (if two both will be female) 2 gourami of some sort A school of tetra (preferable something unusual) Kuhli loaches 6-8 x Corys Is this too much? Any thing to change...
