is it possable for my 180 to be cycled by now

Um I used bio=spira and filled up my 210 with my whole 125 bioload and it worked just fine. But I had a kickass 55 gallon sump with two 1200 gph pumps on it. If your filtration is kicking just throw the fish in.

You don't have to wait at all after using Bio-Spira?

Nope, You just declor the water add the Bio-Spia and add the fish

Works great

I had to wait 3 weeks for my tank to fully cycle with bio spira!

I think the question could better be answered w/ more info. What kind of "LIVE" bacteria was used, how much? Did you test all your water parameters, what are they? How long have they been stable? You don't want to rush the 'cycle' process. Yes 'BIO-SPIRA' is an excellent product 2 'jumpstart' the process but you still have to test. Good Luck!
Peace, MONEY

They claim 11 days but either way I always add fish and I don't remember ever losing one.

Some times when I test the water the Nitrates are off the scale but they say it's just a teat kit issue and I have to admit that the fish would be dead if the readings were right.

I just grab culture pads from work. My tanks cycle in a few hours.

guppy, why bother waiting a day if the water is dechlored?

I just like double checking all the water parameters and making sure the temp was set right before picking up the fish.

Therein lies the problem. You can have us speculate "until the cows come home," but you'll never know until you test your water. Test kits are inexpensive. Buy them for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and PH, at a minimum. You should test your water daily when cycling. When ammonia and nitrites are at zero, your tank is cycled.
