To be honest I'm starting to get scared for the acclimatization and everything going smooth ?

This is new territory for me. But nobody remembers a coward ??

I assume you have very well seeded media from other tanks or old filters?
So long as you have this you will be fine.
If you don't then what the hell are you doing lol

I have 6 liters of Matrix that's been seeded for 6 weeks and additional Matrix and filter mat + a large sponge filter that's been running for 2 years almost. I also added a full dose of Fritz Turbostart.

To late to back out now ??

Should be good mate.
If I were you I would squeeze the hell out of that sponge filter now into your tank water and let it do its job.

I salvaged all the gunk, poured it into the filters and tank and stuffed a FX6 and a Tidal 110 full of the media och threw the rest of the media in a bag in the tank. Sponge is running. I even got a little follower when I moved the media. A small Tropheops fry from my other tank. He survived so far so nothing is immediately wrong with the tank ?

Now I'm just waiting for UPS.
