Ive had my tank set up for almost 3 weeks now, with the tank and fish listed as below.
I test my water almost every day but as yet I've not had any indications of anything ammonia , etc. .. I would have maybe expected Nitrite to rise if anything but still showing zero..... My test kits are all new and the lfs has confirmed my readings.
I started my tank with about 2 pounds of gravel from the lfs tanks and have added some live plants, usualy I added a plant when I added some fish. The filter I have is a 3 stage Fluval which by my recconing and according to the user book should filter all the water in the tank every 15 mins. (small tank.. big filter )
Should I be worried, is something going drasticaly wrong that I've missed, or am I lucky and getting my tank to cycle right from the start ? I'm still carrying out 25% water changes weekly ....
