Dr. Tim's Ammonium Chloride or fish ?

[427HISS]

J've always used a tough fish to cycle my tanks, but two years ago I decided to try Tim's system. I first added the dried white rock, laid down the live sand, it cycled in three days. Then added Tim's product and it was also cycled in three days. I started by adding two paired Clowns and it all went very well. I don't believe it's better than quality and well seasoned live rock, it just will take many months to years to become a balanced ecosystem.

I am now on day 4 of Tims. I have 150 fowlr I added a 4inch trigger day 1 and feed 2x daily. Temp 78.4 and 1.0245 . Ph 8.3, Amonia 0.00ppm and No2 o.00ppm. Had a slight spike day 2 but the above a current readings. So far so good, fingers crossed.

That's great. I did used DR.Tim bacteria when I was cycling my tank and only add ammonia twice and let it run. Then I add Seachem Stability to keep the bacteria populating and did another ammonia test and next day the ammonia was 0 , nitrites 0 and nitrates .50ppm. Did a 10% water change and done.
