Happy fish, happy me
Some people say this doesn't work but my tank seems to be cycled (hurrah!) Just checked today and nitrites were 0 and nitrates were 5, which is great news because this stuff is so much more affordable than the Fritz Turbo Start 700 I would've tried instead if this didn't do the job

Q**?
This is a good product for cycling your aquarium
I've bought this brand before that's why I bought it again wish I had bought the bigger bottle because I actually bought it for a 5 gallon and switched to a 10 gallon and this bottle is actually for a 5 gallon. But I like this brand I've never had any problems with this brand and now I like buying it online with Amazon

Wow!!
Not sure if this really worked, I started up a new quarantine tank yesterday (20 gallon) and added the whole bottle plus bacteria starter and prime and today when I checked the nitrates today and it was around 0.10 which is really good for a brand new tank cycle ! I’ll test the theory again with just the product only next time but no complaints!

Really does add good bacteria to your tank
I don't know much about fish or anything aquatic to be honest. I got a betta fish from Petco but it seemed like he developed some sort of popeye within hours of having him, he stopped swimming and eating for about a week and I thought that was it. I learned about needing to have a tank prepped with good bacteria prior to adding fish and quickly bought this on amazon to see if it would help him. I'm assuming the little floating particles were the bacteria starting to grow, and soon, he started to eat, and swim too. My little guy has been living for a few months now and is now a very fat fella. Thanks.
