Hey folks! I just set up a QT using water from my DT. Performed a water test 12 hours later. DT is Ammonia - .05ppm, Nitrite - 0ppm and Nitrates - 10ppm. The QT registered at Ammonia - .1ppm, Nitrite - .25ppm and Nitrates - 30ppm
There are currently just the CUC in the DT, 4 snails and 4 hermits in a BioCube32. The QT only has the tank, filter, heater and thermometer along with a PVC fitting for cover. Is there an amount of time to let the QT sit and cycle before I go get fish? Trying to do it right and killing myself on the patience part, started the tank up in late January.
Thank you in advance for any answers/insight/wisdom!
