Go Back   Fish Lore Tropical Fish and Aquarium Forum > Freshwater Aquarium Fish Forum > Freshwater Beginners

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!

Good morning Thanson. You are definitely cycling but you're not there just yet. It's hard to say exactly when it will be complete. Hang in there and have patience it will happen Congrats on going fishless!
When you have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites and 5-10 nitrates you're done, and can add a couple of fish at a time. Adding them slowly will help to keep you from going into a mini cycle. Best of luck!
