    Cycle complete

    my tank has cycled using Dr. Tims ammonia. I've redosed several times and just redosed again after getting these test results. If nitrates stay like this does anybody see a reason to do a water change before introducing fish? This is a 120 gallon fish only system. I've got 6 fish that have...
