DOES ANY ONE HAVE TIPS ON HOW TO SPEED UP BACTERIA GROWTH

Buy some Bio Spira read the results, actually worked for me. http://www.marineland.com/products/mllabs/ML_biospira.asp

Or take an ornament or something that was sitting in another established tank and get it going quicker that way.

Take gravel from an existing tank, or better yet filter media. I also use stress zyme, but cannot say if it works.

Ive used Seachems Stability, but I cant tell for sure if it helped or not.

Use bacteria growth products, transfer media if possible, monitor conditions, and change water accordingly. I have not had a fish suffer from new tank syndrome for years, and I add fish the same day I fill the tank.

It also helps to provide adequate oxygenation to the bio media, as the bacteria requires oxygen to grow/survive.

You can do this by adding an airstone under your submerged media or a fan above you media in the drip compartment.
