LOL I dont know where i stand on it, but it makes me laugh.
lol, too funny i love your thinking.

i put fish in after about a month into it or after i see some brown stuff growing. to be honest i dont ever test at first. after you put the first fish in you will see a spike and a mini cycle anyway. now, thats when you have to watch the ammonia and do water changes if needed. usually i end up doing one or two and the tank is good to go. make sure you have good flow too.
