When is it safe to at plants to the fuge?

[rpc07]

I am coming to the end of my cycle as of now my water reads

amm - 0
nitrite - 1ppm
nitrate - 10ppm
ph - 8.2
salinity - 1.024


Curious when it is safe to add plants to the fuge

When the cycle is over

In beter word when,
amm=0
nitrate=0
nitrite=0
ph=8.2
salitty=1.025
calcuim=430
alk=8-12
mag=1350

give it time and it will happen

You can add them as soon as the ammonia and nitrate = 0 if assuming temp, pH and salinity are all good. Nitrates = food for plants.

Hmm... in all reality, you can add plants during the cycle if you want. Plants don't die from ammonia, they actually will absorb a little bit of NH4, even though they absorb mostly NO3, and they can bring some helpful bacteria from the tank they were in to assist in the cycle at the same time.
