I'm fairly sure I have a cycled tank but wanted to get more eyes on my results to be sure. I started the tank running on 1/8 and tested five times since then. The results are:
1/15
Ammonia - 0
Nitrate - 20
Nitrite - 0
Ph - 7.8
1/17
Ammonia - .25
Nitrate - 15
Nitrite - 0
Ph - 8.0
1/22
Ammonia - 1.0
Nitrate - 20
Nitrite - .5
Ph - 8.0
1/29
Ammonia - 0
Nitrate - 20
Nitrite - 0
Ph - 8.0
1/31
Ammonia - 0
Nitrate - 20
Nitrite - 0
Ph - 7.8
Looks like cycled numbers to me. I'm still not adding fish just yet but would like to get the skimmer up and running plus I'm going to do a large water change and while I'm doing that, I'm doing an overhaul on the plumbing but everything will remain under water.
