    No its not that close. He probably is trying as all do, to make a sale. How long has your tank been cycling for matias? Your using all dry rock so you really don't have any biological filtration yet. I know its exciting setting up a new tank and you want to get it going but listen to us that's why you came here is for input. The worst thing you can do with dry rock is cycle/stock too quickly. With out real live biological filtration you risk crashing your system. With dry rock it can take a few months to become live and qualify as biological filtration

    I trust this guy. And I swear I'm not trying to rush anything. I'm not going to put down 60$ on fish just to have then killed. Just sharing what's happening. I know he didn't lie because my results are close to his. This is day 9 of cycling.

    Hehe that's what I've been doing a few times. As soon as my ammonia and trites read zero I'm going to have them test with there sailfert tests just to make sure.
