can I add.......

[Rich]

Found grunge for .50 a scoop locally, can I put it in my 10 week old tank? I just put a couple fishes in. Would it start the whole culture thing all over again? Spike my levels? kill my fishes?
I know I waited a long time just to put fishes in , would it be like starting all over again?

It is too late to add grundge to your system. the time to do that would have been prior to adding animals. just go slow and build up your bio diversity by adding your animals, corals and waiting between each addition for the cycle to pass. do not load up too quickly or you could very possibly experiance new tank syndrome and loose some of the animals. just go slow now and add sparingly and be patient. do not add any more bacteria boosters at this time and do not add any grundge.
