New 90p startup

[j.smet78]

A couple of weeks ago i was able to purchase a secondhand 90p, complete setup with all what you would need to start a hight tech tank.
90x45x45 aquarium
Oase biomaster 600 thermo
Chihiros wrgb 2 90
Co2 set
I kept the filter going from the previous owner and did a dark start after i filled the aquarium with powersand M, ADA aditives and Amazonia ver 2.
Today i planted the tank, first picture can be seen below. Fingers crossed all goes well!

5 days since planting. Although i did a dark start with a pre cycled filter first for two weeks and nitrites were almost at zero when i planted i've been faced with a massive rise of nitrites since the day i planted. Ik keep on doing regular 50%water changes to keep it under control, it keeps building up. Good thing is that the nitrates are also at 40ppm, so i conclude from that that the filter is doing what it needs to do. Amonia is at 0. I will just have to be patient and eventually it will start to drop again i hope. Below some pictures to see the progress. Plants are growing nicely.

Looks like a solid start in a proven set up, good work and keep us updated 👍

Looking good so far, should look great once the plants grow in more.

I hope you wil enjoy this short clip. Including the dark start the tank is now running for almost 4 weeks.
