Not really. The man who discovered the bacteria, who also created Bio-Spira and patented it, left Marineland to start his own company and created a new product One and Only. The United Pet Group who owned the name created two other products with the name, but I would not trust they work as good as Bio-Spira.
 
Good point blueiz
 
Yeah, United Pet just wanted to use the more recognizable brands this time around. There is a reason that they use that yellow to catch the eye of new aquarists and again to ride on the popularity of the instant ocean brand too.


No. They wanted to fool people because the man who discovered and created Bio-Spira left the company.
 
It is live bacteria and the bacteria for Marine and fresh are different. obviously , the bacteria have to also adjust for marine environment.

I belive H3D is correct.. it is a live bacteria Product under a new name.

the Name Bio-spira cannot be used with out some legal issues(I'm pretty sure).

not snake oil..it does need proper storage.

And again...The man who created this new product owns all the patents on the actual product formerly named Bio-Spira. ;)
 
It wouldnt too bad if a LFS carried it, and I've asked a few LFS about getting it. But its not available from their distributors.
 
Nothing better than the tried and trusted method that has been in place for years. No instant cycle product is ever one hundred percent effective.. Just another way for ppl that arent educated in the ins and outs of a cycle to be fooled into believeing its the best thing since sliced bread, while spending there money on a product that is virtually useless. Cant wait to see reviews on it.

Edit: the use for fw and sw aquariums should be a tip off that its virtually worthless, as the bacteria needed for the two types are different..


well if no one ever tried anything than the "tried and trusted method" thered be no progress whatsoever. id much rather use an indoor toilet rather than the trusted outhouse.

and also it should be noted that theres 2 products, one fer FW and one fer SW
