I'm keen on the <"Seasoned Tank Time"> concept, rather than in the idea of a switch from <"not cycled / cycled">.I’m a little nervous that I could be stalling the cycle or killing some of the ammonia eating bacteria…
@dw1305 Darrel your title needs to be appended with "The Curator" or "Human Card Catalog"Hi all,
You needn't worry, just change some water and <"add the floaters"> when they arrive. I'm keen on the <"Seasoned Tank Time"> concept, rather than in the idea of a switch from <"not cycled / cycled">.
Whatever you are told, or read, neither <"stalling the cycle"> or <"ammonia eating bacteria"> are really relevant any more, now we know more about the micro-organisms that <"actually perform nitrification in aquariums">.
cheers Darrel

Fe goes in with the micros. (Do they not already contain iron?) MgSO4 can go in with the macros, or in as part of your water change.What about the Fe and the MgSO4?
Macro or micro bottle?
You would do well to use the best free fertz tool out there:While I was gone,
@Hufsa So how and what parts of this can go together ?
I assume the macros NPK go together and the micros in a separate container with distilled water.
What about the Fe and the MgSO4?
Macro or micro bottle?
They go with eye of newt and butterfly tongue?
