$200+ gone cryHahaha yeah that a bit much lol
Yes the bottled bacteria is the same bacteria you were trying to go when cycling your tank you just didn't give the tank long enough to cycle. Any brand will work your Lfs should have some kind like bio spira, dr Tims,fluval cycle,seachem stability, ect there is many brands. The prime will bind the ammonia for 48 hrs which means it won't harm the fish, any water conditioner will either remove or detoxify ammonia your Lfs should have prime it's a staple in the aquarium biz. If they don't get something like it example ammo lock,Aqueon water conditioner, amquil,ect.is the bottled bacteria safe for fish? I do have fish
This is pretty unnecessary. Once your biofiltration has established there's not a need, the populations will grow and recede with the food supply.Dr. Tims yes.... You should add it every time u add new livestock
Most people I've asked say add it ever time you add livestock to help with new bio load.This is pretty unnecessary. Once your biofiltration has established there's not a need, the populations will grow and recede with the food supply.
+1 it won't hurt also some companies suggest a dose after WC and periodically for maintenance. But in most cases I don't think it's a must do.Most people I've asked say add it ever time you add livestock to help with new bio load.
Yes your correct when ever adding the skimmer Uv and filter sock should be removed or shut off. I think the misconception people assume is when adding one little fish they should add bacteria and it's not necessary, it's when two or three fish are added or fishes that are large it just helps control any ammonia spike, especially in small tanks or nanosI mean ok it won't hurt, it'll likely get picked up in your skimmer but the established bacteria will "win" and will adjust to a ~<100% change in bioload in the blink of an eye, these are organisms that double on the hours timescale.
