Is it possible? Never thought so but here’s what’s happening….
On 3/3 I added turbo fast start to my new XL525 reefer which has sand and about 100 lb of dead rock along with 2 bio filter media blocks (one seeded with bacteria). I followed the directions to a T so added two clown fish and a pair of blue throat trig’s 5 minutes after adding the turbo and proceeded to feed pellets and flake every day. Have not tested but do have ammonia alert hanging on the glass which has registered no ammonia. Just tested this morning after 5 days…no ammonia,No nitrites and fish are happy as can be!. Is this Turbo stuff that good that it took the entire cycle process to nothing? Whatever the answer, there are only 2 more fish going into the tank and I’ll wait on them for a week or 2 or more…..Thoughts welcomed as this is rather surprising…at least to me. Thx
