Hi all, I am a newbie to the fish hobby. In fact, I don't even have any fish yet. I've been doing research on the web and have learned a lot. My tap water with test strips says that my water 0 nitrates, 0 nitrites, is very hard, high alkalinity and high ph. So I replaced 2 gallons of the water with rain water. That dropped the ph and alkalinity and softened the water. But the problem is the nitrites is now saying stress. The nitrates didn't change. I was planning to go get a couple of starter fish tonight. Now I'm worried that they'll die before my 10 gallon tank has a chance to cycle. Any suggestions? Thank you.
