    Alright so my biocube has had zero ammonia for two weeks now and the nitrites hit zero on Tuesday-ish. I just did a 10% pwc today. Could I grab my first fish tonight or tomorrow? This is a 29g biocube and I've been using microbacter7.

    TIA:)

    Kinda. They went up to forty and then went down to 10.

    Here's the test results after the water change.

    Ammonia: 0
    Nitrite: 0
    Nitrate: 10

    It's been like this since Tuesday. I should be good to go right?
