Hello everyone! I finally got my hands on the freshwater master test kit, and these are my results. I have been cycling my tank without fish for a week now. I’m not sure what any of this means, please help! Any tips on what I should be doing with these results?
Hey guys!! I’m new to a planted fish tank setup. I am wanting to get some shrimp and a betta fish. This is my 10 gallon tank I just setup 1 day ago, and will be cycling for a month or two. I have done lots of research before setting this tank up but it all seems so complicated and confusing. I got all the plants from a really nice guy on facebook marketplace and he also gave me his tank water to help cycle. I have fluval stratum for the substrate, lava rocks, a sponge filter with an air stone inside, a heater right beside it, and a timed nicrew light. I have ordered a shrimp cave to put under the aqua soil in the left corner. I have attached picture of the supplies I have so far. I would love any feedback or recommendations and some tips to keep this hobby up!! Thank you in advance:)
