I used Aquavitro Seed to cycle my tank. First time using bacteria in a bottle to cycle. Seed "contains both nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, a blend found in no other product. Additionally seed contains facultative bacterial strains which are able to adapt to either aerobic or anaerobic conditions". Most other products seem to only contain nitrifying bacteria.
I can't get nitrate or phosphate to read unless I dose daily. It's been two years of dosing nutrients. Corals don't look "right". They grow though. A little. Not efficiently. I want to get back to a "normal" tank where nutrients steadily climb, you know?
Do you think there's an effective facultative strain of denitrifying bacteria that don't need anoxic zones to proliferate? Would dosing a different product outcompete the established bacteria? Thanks for helping.
