Well not a big update but, the tank is still cycling and I think I'm at the final stages of the cycle Ammonia is at 0ppm , Nitrite is at about 0.25 ppm ( hasn't changed since I added the Biospira),Nitrate is 0-5 ppm.

Question... I'm going to transfer all of my livestock over after the tank is cycled i have a LTA can i add it along with everything else or do I have to wait? Thanks

Small update today my Ammonia is still at 0.25 ppm which makes me think its giving me a false positive reading. I only think this because my nitrates have risen to 20 ppm. The tank has been up and running a little over a month and I'm dosing stability daily. Any suggestions? thanks
