Hello!
I'm not entirely, but fairly new to fish keeping. I'm currently setting up a 10 gallon tank and waiting for it to cycle. I just passed week one on Sunday, and went to test the water for ammonia or nitrites, but then remembered I don't have any tests for ammonia! However, I have test strips for nitrites and nitrates but both showed a reading of 0. What do I do? I don't have any nitrites or nitrates in my tank, and my tester for ammonia doesn't come until this Friday. How do I know my tank cycling at ALL???
