I have had the jd for several years now, his first tankmate died awhile ago and I just recently went crazy and bought the rest of the fish. My 55g started cycling about the same time I started this thread. I have got a dozen goldfish or so in the tank creating as much ammonia as they can to get the process going. I haven't even tested the water yet, will start doing that next week. Love the blue lobster too, btw.
