    Yes and no to this. This is all dependent on what size system you have. If you have enough LR to handle the new bio load, you won't see a cycle. There would be enough bacteria in the system to handle the additional bio load with no issues.

    Yep!:D man I'm considering testing. I want it to be a surprise Friday but then again it's nice to know how it's going.... I think I will. Does the nitrite usually take a while to go down? Atleast my trates are only around 15.

    Alright the lfs tested aaaannddd....:

    Ammo: 0.00
    Nitrite: .25
    Nitrate: 100+

    So what I'm going to do is when my nitrites hit zero, I'll do a 25% pwc to get my nitrates down. I'll probably get my clowns on Thursday because that's when my parents credit card rolls over. I'm a happy boy!:)
