I have had my tank set up for around 3 weeks and my filter has been running for about 10 days now. I did buy the filter off of eBay and when I received it all the old media was in it so I went ahead and used all the old media for now. I just did a water change and test and here are my reading:
pH: 7.1
Ammonia: 0 ppm
NO2: 0 ppm
NO3: 0 ppm
Is it possible that using all the old media and having white minnows in it my filter is cycled? When I set it up and did a test about 12 days ago my readings were way different. Or am I still a beginner and don't understand the cycle process? I have white minnows and ghost shrimp in the tank currently.
