[FAHADREEF]

Well if you can't buy bacteria, can you buy established live rock?

 

[FAHADREEF]

You can order things on line with expedited shipping. Kind of like the many fishes you ordered.

So whats the problem? Did the rock have die off or something? Was it shipped?

 

[Tamberav]

I feel like adding a ton of fish to a new tank is a good way to lose them all to velvet.

no i am just worried if i was to add a huge amount of fish ( lionfish- banded shark- eels- tangs- boxfish ( separate tank but same water from the pond) (they would die

So is the tank cycled or not?

If it is cycled then... just make a bunch of water to have ready for water changes and buy some seachem prime as a precaution.

There is no doubt about this. And if not velvet, even a well cycled tank will have a hard time keeping up with that much bio load all at once. And these are not little dinky fish. They are larger, higher demanding, higher waste producing fish. I don’t want to be negative but I feel you were very irresponsible in this process. Patience is the key to success. Slow and steady is the key to success. Ordering a bunch of fish that were plucked from the ocean only to not be ready for them is not the key to success. Honestly it’s upsetting.

ive just set it a week ago and added one damsel to help cycle and my order will arrive maybe a week or half somthing like this

Ya you didnt answer if it was cycled or not. If the rock was live and kept wet then... it will cycle faster.

So did you not test or what?


But even if you don't have ammonia problems, they may get sick. New tanks + lots of new fish = stressed sick fish a lot of times.

i know and thats why i came here for help if i didnt care i wouldn't be so worried i made a mistake just like anyone would ,got excited when seeing them and then started to get worried about losing them due to my horrible idea, so what should you guys recommend me to do even if the tank was cycled and ready how would i be able to add all these fish in it wouldn't be possible?

no its not cycled its just been set up a week ago added live rock and live benefital bacteria and i did test nothing just a little anomia that was gone after 2 days

So if the ammonia is gone, why are you saying it is not cycled?

When ammonia drops to 0 and you have detectible nitrates, the cycle is done.

 

[FAHADREEF]

So if the ammonia is gone, why are you saying it is not cycled?

maybe becuase its just been a week and ive never seen a saltwater tank cycle this fast

You can cycle them fast with live rock or bacterial additives.
