Hi I just started a 10g about a month ago, cycling with fish. I did'nt know about cycling until I had already started the tank 
. I have to tell everyone how wonderfully helpful this site has been!
Anyway, I got hooked immediatly (any suprise?) so I bought a 40 gallon. I was having trouble with the 10g and ammonia ( I do about a 20% water change every to every other day) so I was leary about doing a fish in cycle with the 40, but being impatient, ya ya I know what your thinking*twirlysmi But I wanted to, so I called around to the LFS and finally found one that carried Bio-Spira. I made sure that they kept it refrigerated. I had to get the one for 90g tank becouse the next size down is for 30g.
It has been a week and no ammonia problems and everything seems great -knock on wood . I know that the larger tank is supposed to be easier to maintain. But I'm hoping the Bio-Spira did the trick.
oh and I put a squirt of it in the 10g and it seems to have helped with that too.
Thanks to everyone for all the great advice!
