Using Seachem Stability to "seed" a QT

[Brew12]

I bought some biomax at Petco (on sale $9 for 500g). Do I just throw it in loose in the filter? Throw it in the tank loose like rocks, or put it in a media bag and put it in the tank?

Put it in the filter, you want as much water flow through it as possible.

I DID use a seeded sponge and I already started treatment. The seeded sponge didn't work for me. It must not have had enough bacteria to support a porcupine puffer

I'm not a huge fan of the seeded sponge method. You probably get good bacteria coverage on the outside but just not enough flow through the sponge to take advantage of the surface area.

Stability does take some time to work...BioSpira seemed to get busy immediately for me....

BioSpira is my "go to" product for QT. It is easy to find and it works well for me. I like the fact it was developed by Dr Tim. I would use the Dr Tim's One and Only, but it isn't available locally.

I couldn't find the biospira. I tried Dr. Tim's and it didn't work. I have some seachem Seed coming on Wednesday. Maybe that will work faster

Seeing how you didn't read anything I previously posted, I DID use a seeded sponge and I already started treatment. The seeded sponge didn't work for me. It must not have had enough bacteria to support a porcupine puffer
