Hey all, just wondering if there is anything I can do to speed up my cycle? I'm at 4 weeks and my trites and trates are zero or very close and my ammonia is 1ish. I have a pair of clowns, humu humu and a damsel in a ten gal qt with a piece of live rock but i really need to get them to my big tank... I'm affraid if they stay too long they'll die. Please help.

Thanks

Travis
 
It depends on what your cycling with. Right now your pretty much at nothing, becacuse ammo is the first to spike. You should definitely be seeing trites. IF you have to (your fish are dieing in qt) you could add a couple damsels. I do not reccomend this at all, but would rather have demon fish die than your babies. Also, you could add pure ammonia. Carey will tell you about that. Do that first, then as a last resort the damsels. Also, if you dont have alot of LR, adding more will help.
