Welcome! Glad you joined

+1 vote test for ammonia to ensure your cycle is done; you may rarely test ammonia ever again in that tank. Testing it to ensure cycle is complete. If your ammonia is over and your nitrates are up, then you are ready for your first water change.

If you aren't ready to add your first tank inhabitant, you might want to do periodic tiny feedings to keep your ammonia > nitrite > nitrate cycle going in your 8 gallon tank
