My tank is a 20 gallon long. Ive added bacteria a few times, during the initial set-up and yesterday during my first water change.

Thanks that is a big help. I will check it out now. One day I hope to be able to do a saltwater tank.

Just got a new fish tank a week and a half ago. waited a few days, now have 3 fish in it. Looking to expand but I kno it needs to cycle through. so far water test levels have been stable. ph .6, amonia 2.5 nitrate 0, nitrate 0. How much longer should i wait to add easy to maintain live plants, i.e jungle furn or amazon sword. also how long should i wait to add a scavenger i.e catfish/brislte nose pleco or shrimp. Thanks for any advice. If u can add to anything i should do that would be great too. Best, JC
