Used 10 years or so ago, was amazing how quick it worked. Only one LFS near me used to stock few in fridge. Only product that ever actually helped cycle tank in day or less (I DO use small amount of gravel/medium from already established tanks too). Dont care what anyone says "cycle" touted by all pet shop employees when I was a kid never ever worked, I believe it at best to be dead bacteria.
So I've been away from hobby for years until lately, and was just curious why they did away with such an effective product? To the best of my understanding its formula is now Safe Start and can sit at room temp? Does it actually work them same as far as actual living nitrosoma bacteria if any used the old bio spira? I just want to keep some on tap and in case I end up doing a few more tanks You know how 1 tank can turn to 10 in no time! Anyones thoughts? Or is there a new product that has high yield living bacteria that is new during my tankless years?
