Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

here_fishy_fishy24's 33g

I just got my 33 gallon today, put tap water treatment, pH neutralizer and some clear water stuff, took some tests and my tank was ready to go. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and nitrates and the ph was at 7.4. It's also been sitting at 78 degrees steady without the aid of a heater for the past 14 hours. I transferred all my fish and they are very happy. Can't wait to get some more fish, to bad tomorrows new years and everything is closed, oh well. Hope that helped. BTW I used Top Fin Water Conditioner. I'll get some pics tomorrow.

Weird, I posted this as a reply to a question and it ended up here.

If you have zero ammonia, nitrites and nitrates, your tank is not cycled so you either need to add SafeStart or you need to start doing daily 50% water changes using Prime or Stress Coat +, until it cycles.

Yeah, I wouldn't have transferred all your fish yet to your new tank because it's has to be cycled. Check out the information about the Nitrgoen Cycle here.

Did you use the gravel, water, filter media from your old tank to help with the cycle on your new tank before you add the fish?
