just setup 125 gal tank, using well water. I am trying seachem stability to jump start bacteria and have 2 huge pieces of driftwood to try and get the ph down alittle. It has been about three weeks now and water is testing good , so it looks like it has gone through cycling, but it has been suggested that before i put in my jaguar cichlid i should start off with a few danios to make sure water doesnt swing to much. also i was hoping to put in pleco when i put in jag or should i wait for a little while for that?

Directions
Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 40 L (10 gallons*) on the first day with a new aquarium. Then use 1 capful for each 80 L (20 gallons*) daily for 7 days. Fish and other aquatic species may be introduced at any time as long as dosage is maintained for 7 days.

If you followed those directions, according to Seachem your fish will be fine.

I always add fish slowly, every few days or once a week add a fish or two, and I start with the cheapest fish :)

Thats my advice anyways, the best thing about this website is the variety of experience and knowlesge.
