[Marx]

and now my nitrites are .1..
nitrates 10
ammonia 0

my reading before water change where.

nitrites 0
nitates 3-5ppm
ammonia 0
ph 6.0-6.2

ph stayed at 6.8 even tho my tap water is 8.0 out of tap..


and pumping 1 bubble of co2 per 2 seconds..

my tap water have .3 nitrites.. and tank absorbed some and nitrites are at .1 in tank?

are my algae eaters gonna die?

I wouldn't concern myself about .3 ppm of nitrite.  Besides, your biological filter will make quick work of that... give it a couple of hours.

excellent news Marx.  
now the fun part of aquarium keeping is just beginning:D
stocking it with fish

[luvfishies]

Yep, you're ready to stock that sucker!

If you're not ready to FILL THAT TANK WITH FISH,, wait, keep it cycled by adding ammonia, until you're really ready to fioll er up-

Or, you could half fill it, and then go from there,l essentially doing an accelerated "fish in" cycle.
