Limpets vs Dr Tim’s one and only

[grisha]

Hello tankers,
I’m using Dr Tim’s to cycle the tank with established life rock that brought over merry limpets.
I noticed that all limpets disappeared from everywhere under waterline. Rocks, bottom glass, tank walls except above w l or running up straight to surface.
I wonder what is the thingy in DrTs bottle that made limpets just evacuate?
Serious question

Do you have detectable ammonia? They don't like that.

That mast be the thing. I’m sure I killed off bunch of bacteria when holding rock for a week with temp swings 60-84.
Plus new water addition 75%.
Except they were fine for 24 hours BEFORE i added DrT.
Also, I’m treating 93 gallon system with full 8oz bottle that is for 120.
It says on the bottle you cant overdose the the tank. I figure more is better. Testing

The Dr.Tim's won't hurt, probably help get through the ammonia cycle. If that is the problem. I suspect it is.

I don’t think it was the Dr. Tim’s. I’d test for ammonia. I’ve used One And Only with nothing but success.

I’m not worried about it. Tank is 3 days old. I just noted how fast they reacted and figured bottle was good not expired.
Something in the cycle set them off for sure.
