Yeah I'd do a water change with some water from a friends tank like James said

A piece of live rock from an established tank is helpful too

I've used Dr.Tims one and only, saw a lot of success with that product if need be. For future cyclrs. For me, I got marine pure biomedia the large 8x8x4 and the spheres. I've had them in my display tank and sump for a month plus now. Since ill be breaking my display down, I'll be using old water and new along with these biomedias which will have beneficial bacteria for the holding tanks. Good luck.

Dr. Tims works great ! I like to use it in my fish only systems. Especially with the stingrays that are real sensitive to water quality.

Bottle bacteria works well for me. Biospira worked on 6 tanks now.

Btw water from establish aquarium does nothing as nitrogen bacteria is nitty in the water column.

Personally I wouldn't let water from anyone's tank anywhere near mine

I've used Dr. Tims and it works. I agree with Scuzy, not enuf bacteria in the water column to help.

I usually start with a handful of sand from a cycled tank. Then some flake food. Then patience, as coralfarmer mentioned.

I will be doing live sand and live rock from my 9 month old reef no water change water it will just add nitrite thanks for the tips

Adding water from another tank there is a chance of transferring ich over I would think if ich was present in their system. I used fritz 9
