chuppy~ how long i need to cycle the water with amazonia 2 before i drop cherries into it ? ATLEAST ?
as i mentioned, please do check on
1) pH level
2) amonia or so level (i'm bad in this, still can't get what their name are)

Usually, safe time is 2 weeks...
But to be honest, I tried adding crs and rcs on the 8th day after start up... (with A2) Nothing happened... But there were other contributing factors to this, ( constant room temperature, wc method i used for the 1st week, Old tank water, Old mature filter media? )
So for you to be safe, 2 weeks.
With A1 on the other hand, personally, I'd wait 1 month haha..
Drew
my A1, i think running more than 1 month, by checking all the parameter before hand

erm.. now im thinking to put 30% of old water.. ( my current 1ft tank's water )... is that okay for new A2 ? or any side effect ?
and another questions.. do u absorb away the fishes' excretion ? which on the ADA soil 1 while doing WC..
as i mentioned, test those parameter first...
well, u can do another way around, get low grade crs as white mouse (aka test water speciment)
