Question for all of you. I know that my nutrients are low due to my bioload. To increase it, I need to add fish to my tank. It is safe to establish a quarantine tank at this moment using water from my tank? Also, I am used to add filter and sponges to my tank to build some nitrifying bacteria. Can I do that right now that I have Porocentrum in my tank? If not what would you recommend me to do?
 
I would not use water from your tank. You will run the risk of your QT developing dinos as they can live in the water column.

Thanks for your advise. In that case would you recommend something like microbacter 7 to start the tanks with fresh clean water?
