can I add fish? I just put an established AC110 in a 30G that I'm gonna use as a one month quarantine. How soon can I add my fish?
 
You should be ok since your transferring an established colony of bacteria.

Btw, you a jean enthusiast?
 
Last tank I set up I used an Emperor 280. I took one of the wheels off of a 400 on another tank for setup and added fish the next day. I had some mild cloudiness from initial overstocking but no other issues.

Haha, good times me too. Its just another expensive obsession. Go check out self edge, I think they have one in NY as well.

Good luck with your fish.

Word opened up last week. I only wear cane and sam though, not to knock on SE or anything. We should start a denim thread on mfk :ROFL:
 
you need to add the fish along with the filter. If there is nothing to produce ammonia the bacteria will start to die off.

You should keep a close eye and test parameters as the bacteria will have to adjust to the new bio load.
