Its a little risky, never lost any fish but one day I might! I haven't done an ammonia filter cycle in a long time! Probably harder than EVER to get clear surfactant free ammonia here in Spain anyways!
    Eddie, remember my experiment a few years ago with Miracle Gro fertlizer to get the cycle started? I bet most here have forgotten that it did indeed work! I haven't had to use it again but I would if I needed to. Good luck with your new tank of fish, soon to be.

    David! My friend, I am doing some research and I found another supplier in Madrid that is pulling in a lot of Wayne NG fish. He's got some Reflection Ds but they are super small. I might pick them up. I rather go for my type of fish than the available size. Besides, I love growing me out some babies!

    Hey Eddie-
    Welcome back. I'm new but been a SD lurker for about 10 mo and I always learn something from your posts. Your advice posted for others has many times saved me huge headaches (most likely saved my fish a headache also). JWTS Thanks

    Glad I have been able to help you, even with me being out of the box for over a year now. Glad to be back and READY to get some new stock!
