Hardness Of Water

[gixer]

I set up my tank 3 weeks ago. I hope cycling doesn't take too much longer. My nitrites just spiked so hopefully I'm nearing the end. I used Cycle and have monitored the water every couple days. I never did notice an ammonia spike though. I did three 25% water changes during the first week because I realized the the ph from my tap was 8.6! I have an RO unit and the ph is now pretty neutral.

I figure with 4 danios, 5 rasbora and 2 Yoyos I'm pretty much stocked. I would really like a bigger tank. Even another 10 gallons would be nice. I'm looking into replacing the yoyo's with some rams, but don't know too much about them yet. It sounds like you'll have a great tank! Good Luck!

You could still add a few more small fish such as Tetras. Maybe a couple of Cories for the bottom as well.

i certainly wouldn't advise on putting anymore fish in your tank while it is still cycling

We've been talking about what to add after cycling. Right now we are cycling with Zebra Danios.
