product safe start any good?
- Thread starter Flamfish
- Start date
Ah...I meant a product that has pure ammonia should not be recommended to be added to tanks with fish.
on this topic: I've been told by The V that the bacteria can already survive 3-4 months without a food source around room temp.
No, I meant most chemicals you get for aquariums shouldn't go in there if you have fish. And I asked about the ammonia because Tetra says this stuff lasts for 12 months at room temperature. I was trying to figure out how it survives and I thought if it went dormant that might work.
I read that...although I don't know how true that is. A possibility but I hope not.
No problem. :dance:
Just my two cents, but it seems like if this product works as well as Tetra says it does all the fish people, magazines and books would be going crazy over the stuff.
It's been out for awhile,maybe all the hype has died down.Plus there really is no substitute for growing bacteria the slow,old fashion way.
you guys are hilarious, me and Tina are reading the debates here and rofling.
I'm guessing the OP is me but what exactly does it stand for? object poster? other person? I just don't know, lol.
being very new I'm not sure if I'm the best person to test this but I"m willing to try. as far as I understand it a cycled tank will stay cycled for a little while even without fish right?
what if I do tests for the next 11 days before adding fish. if the parameters change dramatically and abruptly this could mean faulty readings right? if I don't add any ammonia or fish until the readings are good I should be ok.
I was origionally planning on roughly a one month cycle anyway. this would still shorten the cycle time. if things don't look right I can always do a 50% water change and start over.
