In 6-8 weeks a livestock pic should hopefully only be a couple of fish tops.
They say the only thing that happens fast in this hobby is failure. Remember that we set up our systems to survive for many years. So waiting several weeks is just a drop in the bucket compared to the overall goal.
View your tank as a work of art and your fish as companions/pets and the time involved in their happiness will be well worth it.
Good luck with this set up by the way. Hope all goes well this time around.

There's an easy way to tell. Get a $3 bottle of cleaning ammonia from the store, add some of this alleged "live" bacteria and some ammonia to a bucket of NSW, and see if it turns it to nitrate.

The faster you drive the harder you crash.
