Thank you, today I tested nitrites and nitrates... The ammonia was somewhere between 3ppm and 4ppm, nitrites were zero and imma guess the nitrates were 2-3ppm... The color sheet they give you only has 0ppm and 5ppm as their lowest results
 
Yesterday I was so stressed as I was setting up the tank.... I enjoyed about 0% of it... Lol. But I know it'll be worth it!
just take your time and enjoy the process. ;)
 
In addition to the color-code chart that came with your kit, have a look at this, as well...scroll down the page for the various tests...just hold the TT up to your monitor to compare colors

 
This was after I dumped water in and all the decor went everywhere... I tried to fix it but the wood floats so ya know...

I thought you'd learned to soak the wood beforehand, so that it stayed submerged? ;)
At least with your decor all over the place, you had another chance to add a slope to your substrate.

I dont think I'm doing the sloping because I think the gudgeons wont appreciate it 😂😂
