Hi everyone.
Just looking for some advice!
I've been keeping fish for a while, got a tank already on the go but I'm having some issues with a lack of lid and my cat!
Therefore I treated myself to a brand new tank! Got a lovely 90L fluval.
Now, on Tuesday (23rd Jan) I set it up and used fluval cycle and fluval aqua plus as instructed on the bottles for the first 3 days.
All seems to be going well, 2nd day the water turned cloudy (I'm assuming the ammonia build up?) 5th day it all cleared. Now I tested the water yesterday (31st Jan) and all the levels (exception of general hardness of the water - I live in a chalky area!) but everything else read as low levels, ammonia - around 0.2
Nitrite - around 0
Nitrate - around 0
PH around 7
Am I to assume its safe to put fish in there? I'll be transferring the fish from my other tank to start with.. 2 guppies a swordtail and a pleco....
I'm only concerned as the tanks only been running a week and a half... Seems like a very short cycle...
