Newley Cycled Stats..

[sven_sol]

Been cycling my new tank, dust has just about gone from the surface now and here are my stats

pH 7.7
Amonia 0.01
Nitrite 0.4
Nitrate 20 (ish)

Thinking of putting a few fish in today, just to help along with the cycle.

How are they, are these about normal? My ph is a bit lower than my smaller tank, but the stats aren't too dissimilar.

I've just been to my lfs and bought 6 black neons. I was told that they are hardy fish and can survive just about any water condition so they are one of best fish to start with in there. Look good in there!

I'm not going to put any other in there yet, but I'm gonna keep a very close watch on the stats every day just to see how things go.

The plants are thriving and there are 2" long roots already on most of them.. and its only been a week!!
