This is the history of my cycling for my 55g that I started at the beginning of the month, as you can see my ammonia spiked way back on 1/08/16 and my nitrate spiked on 1/14/15, they are now at 0.15ppm and 0.25ppm respectively with a nitrate of 20ppm where is has been for the last week, am I now cycled and ready to do a 60% water change and add a couple of small fish? I have been using raw shrimp to cycle the aquarium so I would take these out and replace with my new fish to keep the ammonia going.
before I add my fish though I will add my HOB filter with peat granules to lower my PH from 7.6 which is my tap water to 6.8 - 7.0......
any advice is appreciated please?
