Ok little update, happy enough with it

Seems better in that photo anyway

Yea there's a slight slant in it, not even half an inch, still want to a few more plants around the cave and some in the middle, but happy enough for the moment

Next time you do a water change, while at its lowest, see if there's any movement in the setup. If there is you really need to drain the tank down as far as possible and try to correct it, if there isn't you should be fine (but I accept no responsibility ).

Yea I think when my cycle is finished and I do the big water change il level it off

Good plan, might just need a couple of shims under the cabinet feet on the left.

Just tested and after 10ml of ammonia yesterday, today it read .25 ammonia, .5 nitrite and 20 nitrate, so dosed ammonia again and got it back to 4ppm

 

[SteM]

So after testing yesterday I got ammonia back to 4ppm, just tested again and it's 0.5ppm with nitrites of 5ppm(although it was darker than 5ppm) and nitrates 40 ppm, I should I reduce my ammonia dosage in order to bring nitrites down? ... Am I anywhere near adding fish yet?

 

[SteM]

After testing again it's its gone from 4ppm to 0.5 in 6 hours
