| Re: No Ammonia?
w/o introducing a bio load that is more than the lil bacteriums can handle, id assume that you'd never see any spike at all.
however, the amount of bacteria that you have in a tank that size that young, is probably very minimal.
if you just start adding fish and inverts, id worry about another cycle caused by this additional bioload. and you dont want those lil guys to be exposed to that
id suggest adding a big fat nasty deli-shrimp to the tank. worst case scenario is that your tank goes through a mini cycle as the populations of bacteria grow to meet the demands of the new over-bio-load.
