Heya doin ye old fishless cycle just wonderin if anyone could analise my results as im incompitend

NH3 - 4.9 mg/l
NO3 - 10 mg/l
NO2 - ~2.5mg/l
GH - >16 d
KH- ~7 d (im not sure)
pH - 8.2 (its been around 7 untill today..)

Any1..? Maby i shud post in begginers

depends what you mean by are they oki doki?

it is not ready for fish if thats what you mean. also the gh, kh and ph do not matter during a fishless cycle. the ph will be weird because of the cycling.

Oh i know about the fish, and i just realised it was a bit of a pointless post my bad! And i wasnt sure about the pH so thanks will it go back down?

aye, well, you should do a 90% water change when you are done anyway to remove the big nitrate buildup, so that should neutralise the ph

Lol thanks a lot
