THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE HELP! I never wanted this thread to get to this point. For some people they call a mistake for others its just another way to do it "the bacteria bottle"
Now if I did the right thing or not..... Honestly I dont know.
You guys are extremely helpful. The video that Cuzza posted its exactly what I did it.
I have been checking everyday and all i get its 0 for ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, and phoshate.

Renato120, every tank is different, just enjoy the clowns, add some snails and keep testing for possible spikes.
My tank been up for three years and never cycled. My first tank, fifteen years ago cycled with two chromis and they made it.
Just go slow, wait till Christmas and then buy more fish for your tank.

I will get some snails this wkd! I dont think im gonna wait till christmas lol....

The "bacteria in a bottle" is fairly new to the hobby and to seems like a to good to be true scenario option which is why it causes some tension.

Be patient with how much you add and how fast you add so the bacteria can keep up. You are doing fine, this a great place to ask questions so keep asking. Even the somewhat heated discussion allowed many people to learn, so its all good.

What is done is done. To the OP go ahead and add some CUC but, go easy adding some fishes to the tank. One at a time and give it a few weeks before adding another. Good luck
