How is kaiser acting cool? He was suggesting a waterchange because adding stability will not solve the ammonia/nitrite problem immediately, even if stability does do what most people claim it does. A waterchange however will solve the immediate problem. Needing to know the setup played no role in his advise.

thanks guys for all the tips today i went and got some prime i did one 30% wc put prime and cycle the store didnt have stability the 30 mins later i added the rest of the fish and did another 30% wc but this time i used my old tanks water i put prime and cycle again
water doesn't have much beneficial bacteria, definitely use the old filter pads/filter on the new tank if you can
i have also put about 60gal from my up and running tank the water is getin better ammonia at 0ppm nitrate between o ppm to 25ppm
Ok stability works if u consistently apply it like it states on the bottle....It won't solve his complete ammonia and nitrate problem but it will help it big time....I already helped him today to use his old water from his cycled tank to help cycle his new tank....I think that, water changes, and stability, and prime will do the trick...
water from the other tank wont do much... keep up with small waterchanges maybe about 15% twice a day.
(keep the wc's small so it doesnt shock your fishes) with the use of prime and stability and keep the tank very
well aerated and add filter media thats been used in a running filter that you had running for over a month.
also you can get some real plants in the tank and that will help a good amount with the whole natural filtration
the plants do. keep this up for about a week and test your waters daily make sure theres no sudden spikes in
the water. also if you need stability bro you can come take one of my opened bottles, theyre about 1 cap per 50g
so it should last a cool minute.

Good deal, sounds like your tank is going in the right direction.
I`ll second the advise about using water from any other tank.
Use fresh and a quality water conditioner, such as Prime.
Good luck, Keep testing.
