Sounds like a sales pitch :) Are you the local rep :)

SuperBac is that another companys version of Biospira?

Here's what I found on it.

http://www.naturbac.com/products.html

Click products then aquarium, It claims it's live bacteria. But does not need to to be refrigerated.
This product contains nitrobacter which is not effective in an aquarium.

Nitrobacter is the bacteria that naturally cultures to oxidize nitrite so your post has proven to not be effective in this conversation.

i dont see you proven anything. time after time the the only thing i ever seen anyone say that really works is bio spira. first time i ever heard of Superbac before. if it was so great i think more and more people would be talking about it kinda like with bio spira. i think we need more then i had a sw tank and it was cycled in 3 days from you.

Well, I you are insinuating that I'm attempting to do more than I have. I don't know how I could ever prove anything on the internet. All I can do is pass along factual, helpful information.

This is pretty exciting to me because nothing has been the real deal since this stuff came out. But, this product is brand new this year so I don't know how much talk you're expecting on something so new. Biospira has about a 3 year head start on "talk". It's hardly fair to compare the two.

Oh yeah, and it was 4 days not 3! (but I'm sure with a little more I could have gotten it to 3)

Please read this as you are obviously misinformed. This is factual information as it is backed up with actual references.

Yes, that's very interesting. It is an oxidizer. Now all they have to do is figure out how to get it to work better than nitrobacter, which they haven't been able to do yet.

Maybe they'll have another massive recall and rethink it.

And doesn't it make you suspicious that they don't put an expiration date on a product that only lasts 3 months in the frige? I wouldn't trust anyone that is okay with people buying dead bacteria.

It's your money though. Party on!

links please.

unless you have research (not ads) or multiple people posting and showing that this stuff works in their tanks, you can't argue how good it is. one cycled tank isn't proof of much. if you can show that it works well, works consistently, and is reliable, then you might have something.

seeing as how you have only posted in this and not any others, most of us will assume that you have only joined in order to sell this product. we don't know how much you know about aquariums, or fish, or cycling, so you haven't exactly built up a reputation that allows people to trust what you say.

These are not the claims of one company! The result that have been found by the University of California have both been replicated and accepted by the scientific community.

See: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=124703

Try and find just one study that shows nitrobacter as an effective nitrifying bacteria inside of an aquarium.

Hey, party on. It's all good. I was just responding to a post on the first page from someone who's used it. I didn't bring this all up, I joined the conversation.

I'm kind of sorry I did now.
