Hey Ed, thanks a bunch for you help. I really do appreciate it. I went to the shop to grab the test kit today, and they had none left. The dude at the fish store told me to bring in a sample of my tanks water, and he would test it for me as you have suggested. The only thing is, he said I would need to purchase the whole nine yards as far as the test kit goes after he tests the water??. I just want to make sure I understand what you were getting at, when you said I would not need to test some of these other things after the cycle is complete. Does that mean that this fish store dude is looking for a somewhat heavy sale on the master test kit? I have spent a few bucks on this tank already lol. If I can save on this test kit deal, that would be cool lol. Please let me know what you think I should without a doubt have as far as this kit goes. I don't mean to be repeating some of what you already posted above lol, but I need to be sure that I am not spending $ for nothing at the pet store. Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks,
Jim
