OK, as most of you know, I've have been planning on getting a 38 gallon for some time now and it seems that I will finally be getting it sometime this month...I hope...
Anyways, I've made the decision to do a fishless cycle, mainly because it just seems easier. I also considered using Bio-Spira but the fact that you can't always get a good batch worries me.
I'm curious as to whether or not I could use pure ammonia to do a fishless cycle AND use Bio-Spira to speed up the process. I was thinking that by doing it this way, I won't have to worry about having a bad batch of Bio-Spira and a full load of fish in an uncycled tank.
I believe its only sold in 30 and 90 gallon packets so would adding 90 gallons worth of bacteria to a 38 gallon tank and dosing ammonia hurt anything or cause any problems?
