RE: Fishless Cycle Help
If I were you, I will continue for another day not only for making sure it is cycled, but also give the bacteria more time to establish themselves better. If you absolutely have to get fish today after you get 0ppm reading on ammonia and nitrite early, then go for it.

Just do do not forget to do a few large water changes in a row to get the nitrate down to less than 10ppm. Aim for less than 5ppm, because Otocinclus catfish can be very sensitive to nitrate.

Do not forget to accumulate any new fish and shrimp slowly into your new fish tank when you add them. Give them time to adopt to the new water in your tank to avoid shock. Once everything is done, don't forget to start a new thread to show it off. Big Grin
