cycle?

[davescube]

I have set up a new tank, and added some plant recently..
my test kit shows,
I need a guide to help me finish with the cycling..
currently I have no livestock..

pH= 6.0
NH3= 1.0 - 1.5 ppm
NO2= 0 ppm
NO3 = 10 ppm
GH= 3-4 degree

What should I do next? Do I have to perform waterchange?

It is cycled when your ammonia/nitrite reading should be 0. However, the normal cycling period may not be applicable since it is a planted tank. Since you do not have any livestock, it is not necessary to perform any water change. Water changes are only done in the earlier stages if you have livestock to reduce the ammonia levels.

Hope that helps!

so I just have to wait until ammonia and nitrite is 0??

Wait for..?

fortunately you have NH3 and NO2 tester, if not just cycle it for 3 or 4 weeks.

[davescube]

i mean wait until NH3 and NO2 is 0, then the tank is cycled?

[Panut]

It is cycled when your ammonia/nitrite reading is 0.
How long has your tank been running already?

Around 10 days..
I have just planted the plant for like 3 days ago..

How heavily is it planted? Share some pictures of your tank with us?
