Day 3 week 1 of my new hobby.

Hiya all once again.
Okay i,ve got the tank set up with underwater filters,Fluval 403,airwand,plastic plants,plastis rock also i,ve got some wood which is in a bucket soaking going to cycle it fishless. I've added some Aquasafe and some Bacterlife now here are the results of my first test.
Temp 25 deg C
GH 16d
KH 20d
Nitrite 15 mg/l
Nitrate 0.1 mg/l
Ph 8.4 plus I suspect because the test result seemed a little darker than the guide chart.
Ammonia 0.1mg/l
Would bacterlife help any?

Hi!

OK. What are your current stocking plans then? It'd be cool to have a tank with a BN, a trio of Dwarf gouramis (1 Male 2 Female), 6 Neons and 6 Corys! With corys you want all of the same kind. They are so much funner in singl-species groups! And avoid Sterbai corys - they're a real rip-off; cost a ton (£30 for 6!), and are barely as active as other corys. I learnt that lesson the hard way!
