Upgrading Tanks

[Phil11]

I'm upgrading my tank from a 40g to a 120g, the tank is full and circulating. I added 4oz of fritz turbostart and am not seeing any signs of cycle (today is day 9). I took a water sample today and this is a pic of my test results. I tossed a couple crabs in a few days ago and they are doing fine. Think its safe to put my shrimp and fish in yet?

Have you tested every day? Looks like it may have been and gone, mine did it in 7 days! That was with atm colony tho!

no this is the 2nd test the first one I did was only 2 days in had some detectable ammonia so I let it go for a couple days then added a hermit and a emerald crab they are doing good. My main concern was that I was using all new dry rock so I was kind of expecting to see brown and some algae like I did in my last tank but I used live rock. Just trying to play it safe..

Yeah that’s best way, you could always add another bottle of your not happy,
