water readings

by sekushi

Hi!

New here, I have a two day old 5G planted aquarium and the water readings are as follow:
PH 7.4
Ammonia 0.25
Nitrite 0
Nitrate is 3.0.
I have no idea if I’m caring for my planted tank correctly, the water seems to be somewhat cloudy towards the white side not so white but not so clear, I don’t know can anyone please tell me if I’m in the right direction….thank you!!!1

Do you have anything else in the tank besides plants? Are you cycling it e.g. putting in a pinch of fish food?

I think it's probably cloudy just because it's so new. It'll clear up once everything settles.
