About a month ago I set up a 55 gal aquarium I have a fluval 306 canister filter, a 200 watt heater, a air pump with a bubble volcano and lighted bubble wand and hoods with led lights. I put a full bottle of fluval bacteria in it and ran it for 3 days before I added fish. Now I have 5 various...

Thank you everyone. I did a 30% water change and added prime to the new water m. I also added 1 capful of stability. Did this 5 hrs ago. Just tested my water and my amonia is now at 0.25 I know not 0 yet but it's down also Nitrite dropped not to 0 but 0.25 and Nitrate is between 10-20. Thank you...

Should I do daily water changes to help? Should I continue to add stability to help boost the BB?

Unfortunately I thought I did a fish less cycle but I didn't I set up the tank added a full bottle of fluval bacteria waited 3 days then added fish and that was just about a month ago

What should I do? The only reason why I used the stability was to try to boost my BB. Before today my readings were PH 8 Amonia .25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate between 0 and 5

Thanks. But what should I do? Add prime? Do a water change? Continue for 6 more days with stability?

Yes I have prime I will dose with prime I was just using stability to try to boost the Bacteria since my wife added such a big fish to the tank

The fluval 06 models are really quiet I have the 306 model that does 70 gal I only have a 55 gal set up. You should use the 406 or 506 really easy to set up and really quiet.
