What would you buy if you had a 100$ to spend at dr. tims Aquatics? Why?

I always wondered what would be the outcome if you just dumped In like 5-6 bottles of one and only into a brand new tank.

All depends on your issue. Waste away is great if everything is running well as a once a week treatment.

This would be fun to do. I'll second this idea!
I don't think you can overdose that sort of thing. I mean, if you add 30 bottles to a 10 gal you'll have issues, but I don't think adding a few bottles to a large tank would affect anything. I think a lot of the bacteria would die off, but that would in turn feed the surviving bacteria which would then produce more bacteria to feed on any residual ammonia from the first amount of die off lol.

Nothing.................. you need ammonia present to feed the bacteria.
Cheap ammonia is pee or you just get a bottle from Dr Tim's.

I'd buy enough big bottles to have a his supply of waste away, refresh and definately do balance.. Just enough to spend 100.00..

Completely Understand the ammonia.
I was referring to cycling a new tank with a mass amount of it, for 100$ its about 5-6 bottles.

If you have enough of it than one application for your tank is enough.
It's not how much bottles it's having time and let the cycle take place.

By reading and watching Dr. Tim's videos, you are correct.

I am cycling my 3rd tank currently with only ammonia, as I have only done in the past.

I have not used the product.

ASSUMING I went and dumped a ton of nitrifying bacteria in the current cycling tank, would there be an even better / bigger bacteria colony established?

Could we get a healthy cycle in one day?
(Not that I would, as stated earlier, I take my time with this process).
