Hi all. I started cycling my 65L boyu with built in hood filter 3 weeks ago. I am doing a fish in cycle with 4 zebra danios. Ever since beggining this hobby I've had low readings for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, with a tank tempartute of 23 degrees Fahrenheit, ammonia levels 0.75, nitrite levels 0 nitrate levels of 0, I did have a nitrate level of 0.5 last week with no increase in anything else, this has no vanised. My tests are all the liquid sort and I'm sure to shake the bottles firstly. The PH of my tank is 8.1 which I understand is way to high, but my LPS told me it's because it's a new tank and will soften out during the cycle I used all in one water conditioner in the tank to begin with. I have also been using seachem stability for seven days with the right measurements as directed on the bottle. I also feed my danios 2 times per day (Which I've been feeding twice the amount as during the first week to attempt to increase ammonia quicker) I have been told not to do any water changes by my local fish stores just yet. But I'm worried my cycle isn't working for some reason? Perhaps because of seachem stabilitt? MAny adive is of great help as I am fairly new to this hobby but have done a lot of research before beggining. Thanks guys
