"Take it slow. I started with this....." How did you get a picture of my tank
ya you are not far at all

I did a test last night 0 nitrites, 0 ammonia, 20ppm nitrates, and 8.2 PH
so i think the cycle is getting close to being over with. but i need water changes bad
I'm not sure what the PH is supposed to be but it seems a lil high
