At the beginning but that was about it. I have been changing 50% of the water every day since I started.

You can slow down on the water change. Once a week would be suffice.

So based on the chem testing do you think it's safe for the Danios ?

Sounds like your tank is already cycled. You don't show any nitrates cause of the plants and the water changes. Hold off on the daily water changes, weekly changes should suffice.

Did your water ever get cloudy and then clear up?

[bluethunder261]

Did another water chem. check and the results were the same as in 10/5 . Wondering if I should wait it out or throw in some Danios to jump start this cycle. What do you guys think. Also do you think I'm going overboard with the water changes? Since the beginning I've had nothing but clear water.

On 10/6 I added Tetra Safe Plus to see if I could jump the cycle to half it's time. Been doing 50% water changes everyday, last 50% water change will be done tomorrow Friday 9th. Also been dosing CO2 at a rate of 1ml every day. Plants are doing ok with some bit of yellowing closer to the roots of the Dwarf Sagittarius but nothing drastic, no mayor die off on the plants.

On 10/5 a water check and found pH at 7.6, HRPH at 8.2, Amonia at 0 ppm and Nitrite at 0 ppm also.
