Hey guys, I just started cycling my tank in a bucket. I got a piece of live rock to seed it, but also got this:
"EasyStart is a unique combination with highly active bacterial cultures. The unique bacterial carrier ensures an accelerated multiplication of useful bacteria, so that the formation of, among other things, the toxic nitrite can be avoided. It also helps to counteract the action of harmful bacteria and purifies the water of heavy metals and other chemical contaminants. The result is a healthy aquarium with vital, intensively coloring fish."
I was wondering if this is a cycle starting product, I can't seem to put my finger on exactly what this is. The instructions say to add 5ml/20g of water on day 1, 7, and 14.
I put in 20ml of this yesterday, along with a bunch of fish food. This morning I did my first ammonia test and it is at 0.25, which I think is a bit weird, because I spilled a little too much food in my cycle bucket.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I keep googling and overthinking everything haha. Cheers!!!
