So fritz claim the cycle is done in 5 days or less i am on day 7 and currently the bacteria can only handle converting 0.16 ammonia per day i am using a hanna checker not the crappy colour charts

How do you prove your claim of false advertisement?So fritz claim the cycle is done in 5 days or less i am on day 7 and currently the bacteria can only handle converting 0.16 ammonia per day i am using a hanna checker not the crappy colour charts
cause i have used it and my tank is not cycled durrrrHow do you prove your claim of false advertisement?
by Microbe-Lift?Fritz suck use Special Blend bacteria and night out ll made by the same company. Your system will jump start asap
very very very slow for day 7 of what they claim to be 5 days or under cycle i should be seeing 2ppm to 0 in 24 hours instead im seeing 0.16ppm per 24h being processed on day 7 that is patheticFritzyme has been well vetted around here and proven to work. I don't believe our hobby kits are accurate enough to say what you claiming without a doubt. What we do know is that ammonia is being processed.
more than enoughHow much rock, sand and other biomedia do you have in the tank?
That’s the oneby Microbe-Lift?
Have you tested nitrites and nitrates, you could use those results to calculate how much NH3 you’re tank is consuming 1ppm NH3–>2.7ppm NO2–>3.6ppm NO3.very very very slow for day 7 of what they claim to be 5 days or under cycle i should be seeing 2ppm to 0 in 24 hours instead im seeing 0.16ppm per 24h being processed on day 7 that is pathetic
i did the water change yesterday so in the 6 days (over there 5 days or less cycle time) my ammonia went from 3.2ppm to 2.2ppm so still only 1ppm in 6 daysBefore I get into this, let me start with a simple disclaimer, I'm not a Fritz fan, I don't use any of their products personally in any of my tanks.
Now, I'm not quite understanding why you're confused as to why you still have ammonia when you've added ammonia. Assuming you are cycling a new tank, the ammonia source should have only been added once on day 1 prior to the addition of the Fritz product.
Per your own post, your ammonia was decreasing, showing that the bacteria was starting to do its job (maybe not as fast as you would have liked) and you now interfered by doing a water change and added more ammonia. So of course you still have ammonia, you are essentially back on Day 1 of your cycle again.
Unless your tank was super cloudy from a bacteria bloom it was best left alone.
I am not defending Fritz, nor accusing you. But maybe saying that calling their product out in this case is a rush to judgement based on your account provided to us.
how sure are you about that cause i have a fish reserved and it was not cheap its costing me £1350The requirement to process 2ppm in 24 hrs is way overkill unless you plan on adding dozens of fish all at once
I preseeded a tank until it was processing 2ppm in 24 hours and was able to add 17 fish (1.5 to 2 inch size) all at once with no ammonia spike.
If you're only adding a few fish at once you already have enough "cycle" for that
Make sure it is definitely cycled before you add a fish of that pricehow sure are you about that cause i have a fish reserved and it was not cheap its costing me £1350
