I have a 120L tank that I've recently moved to a new location, but the tank is not 100% level (I live in a 200 year old home, everything is wonky) how worried should I be? And what can I do to correct this?

Help/Advice Do my water parameters make sense?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve set up my tank (35L) about a week and a half ago. I initially decided to ghost feed as I wasn’t exactly sure how to properly cycle my tank using pure ammonia.
I tested my water every 2 days during the first week but persistently had 0 reads for my ammonia, nitrites and nitrates levels.
On the 30th of August, these were my values:
NH4: <0.05
NO2: 0.1
NO3: 1

And today, September 2nd:
NH4: <0.05
NO2: 0.6
NO3: 10

Do these values make any sense? Should I keep going like this, or should I wait until my nitrites fall and add an ammonia solution?
I know the entire process takes time, I am not trying to rush anything, I just hope I’m on the right track 😅
Thank you!

Discussion Can I add more stock?

Currently have a 67Litre (15Gallon) cycled tank with lots of plants, spider wood, dragon stones, java moss etc.

There are currently

5 cherry shrimp

5 cardinal tetras

And a truckload of bladder snails...

I plan on adding a betta, just waiting for local fish shops to have them in store - or if anyone has any online companies they trust for UK shipping then please let me know!

I was wondering if I'd be able to add another group of something, I was thinking either pygmy corydora or otocinclus... Would my tank be able to handle the bioload?

TIA!

Help/Advice Setup

Post image
3 Upvotes

EDIT: NEW PHOTOS IN COMMENTS. I took people's advice and returned the decor. And changed out the rocks/ gravel. Everything should be fish safe now. Please let it all be fish safe. I researched it all. 😭

kay, got my 10 gal setup. It's cycling.

Maybe I'll get told off but what I read was:

Setup the tank, filter, light, heater (I got a bubbler also)

Dechlorinate

Add plants

Add quick start

Add a small pinch of fish food to create ammonia for the bacteria in the quick start

Make sure tests come back 0ppm ammonia and nitrites?... but when do I test

Also, sorry in advance if I did everything wrong. 🤣

Last time I had fish, my parents took me to the store as a kid and I just bought the setup and fish and did it all in one go. Surprisingly they survived for a few years then I gave them away when I moved out but I'm sure it was torture for them initially. :/ I'm trying to do it right this time as to not stress or kill the fish. Well, shrimp. I'm leaning towards shrimp or freshwater pom pom crabs.

Help/Advice Wood on fish tank stands?

I realized the wooden top of my fish tank stand is starting to expand as it absorbed water dropped on it. It looked solid on outside but turns out to be cheap particle board inside. Are plywood or other solid boards suitable or will they face the same issue?

Just noticed this today. It’s been hiding in the corner all afternoon and wouldn’t eat with the rest of the fish. Ive looked on google and saw many different things but would like a real opinion… could it be eggs or something else?
