    agree with Bill,

    I made the same mistakes, rushing, but you can put your money on the fact: your tank will not be cycled in a week. my mistake was i rushed at 6 weeks and i still wasn't ready. at 9 weeks my tank was ready for live stock.

    also, how many gallons is your tank?

    Picture of my tank at 5 weeks old. I got it cycled in one week. I used Stability as recommended by another reefer. I started adding live stocks after one week. I have not lost anything.

    I am not familiar with this product, but Bill is right, there are major cycles first and mini-cycles follow for months. Cycling is not just a curing process, it is the process of actively transforming your tank into a mini ocean. Every new piece of live rock has to go through a mini cycle too. Some fish and corals can survive the cycles, but most will not.
    Sorry to tell you but, "It ain't over yet!"
    O, yea! now the right ear!
