Just made an order from Dr. Tim's . I got the Reef & Nano starter kit w/ the Ammonium Chloride Solution for Fishless Cycling. I have read many good reviews about it , so I thought I would test it for myself.

Hope to have the tank in place tomorrow and begin working on my scaping .

Who is this Dr. Tim guy? A real doctor or does he just play one on tv?

He wasnt wearing his white jacket at MACNA, so who knows. I have heard great things about his stuff so we shall see if he is in fact a Doc. or just a QUACK.

Finally got it wet

Added 60ml of Dr. Tim's One and Only , along with 5 drops of the Ammonium Chloride. I will test daily to see the results.

If my levels continue to show up as 0's by Wednesday, then I will be picking up a small Talbot damsel on Thursday. That was part of my original stocking plans anyway so why not.
