So with the help of really fresh LR zeobak and zeo start I have gone thru my cycle in just over a week ! Ammo an no3 both at zero and no2 was at 4ppm.... Did a 50% WC and added a TINY (read 1cm) domino damsel and some micro hermits as the first in habitants
The sand that I have used is 0.5-1mm sugar fine so you can see how small the hermits are ^_^
