My Fl Cycle, Its Done!

[190MPH]

Well after what seemed like forever(5 weeks+), it looks like my fishless cycle is finally complete . Nitrite had been at 1-2ppm for a long time. I did my normal 6 am check of nitrite yesterday and it read 0 @ 24 hrs and nitrate had finally risen to 60ppm, so I did my dose of 2-3ppm ammonia as usual. Later in the day, I then rechecked at 4pm as always to see where it was at. Nitrite was 0 at 10 hrs!! I will continue on to confirm for a few more days.

What are your thoughts on this stocking plan, remember 72g bowfront.

5-6 Rose Line Torpedo Barbs
6-8 Cories
6- Danios, for the top level, any other suggestions?
1 BN pleco, later
1 pair kribs, later

nice choices, no compatibility issues, you've room for plenty more as well.

i would bump up the shoal of cories, looks great to have a big group of 20 or so roaming around a decent sized tank.

I think you have a nice stocking there 190MPH. I don't know where you will find the denisonii but they are a beautiful centerpiece fish.

for extra at the top i suggest black / red phantom tetras bought 7 today very pleased with thier colours

Yeah, you could go 8 on the danios too.

Thanks for the replies. OM, one of the LFS has the denisons in stock, that's where I realized their beauty. Hopefully he still has them. May pay a visit tomorrow to double check. Are the phantom tetras true top dwellers?
