    You shoudl cycle it in a seperate container for 3day to 5 with a powerhead to get all the die off- out of it and prevent a mini cycle and then go ahead and add it. Well at least thats what i read ill wait for a pro to answer it.

    if youre only adding a small amount , you should be okay. but if its multiple pounds, do as dev said. how much were you talking about?
