hey guys I am 17 and just got my new 60 gallon tank. And I ended up using sand as my substrate and driftwood and live plants inside. Also I set my temp to 85 degrees.I took the water from my old 30 gal and moved it into my new 60 and just started cycling around 4 Pm yesterday. I also tested my ammonia last night and its at 0. so thats good but my ph is very high so when I take care of the ph is there anything else ill need to check before I know my tank is ready for fish? Please any help or criticism is great thanks!
please view!!!!!

Check the nitrite also!!The ph will probly be fine i think i saw you in pbass media section .If your ph is in the low 7's and is stable its fine stability is key for small bass!!Might even bump the temp to 86 or 87 and plenty of airation!!piranhakeeper69;4081807; said:
If the only thing you moved from the old tank to the new one is the water, You have only just begun to cycle.
Hopefully your fish are still in the 30.
To correctly "Fishlesss Cycle " your new tank you will need to provide Ammonia to feed the BB.

Read the alternative method on the link ,it is foolproof.

well I gave my buddy my rbp to add to his shoal. but where can I get this ammonia to add to the tank , I have ammonia down but not ammonia so should I buy a certain test kit that includes everything?
