cycle question

[SeattleDarko]

I don't think my new tank cycled? I know its possible but its been up for 3 days? here are the readings. I am using API tests.

PH 8.2
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Calcium 380
DKH 10


This should be good to go??? or am i missing something? I want to put everyone in the new tank they are not happy where they are?

If you used the rock and stuff along with water from the old tank,I'd say you'd be alright.But theres always a chance that would kick a small cycle off.

+1 yote. Did you use already cycled water?

3 days is really to soon to do anything, i would just wait a few more days to see what happens.

throw some food in there to rote and if you dont get a pike of ammonia or nitrites by tomorrow your good to go

I started fresh, I will throw so food in and see what happens.

Then you def need to go thru the cycle. Test your water in a day or so after you throw in the food. Let us know what changes you see.
