Using Stress Zyme

Biospira is the best product to jump start a cycle but it really depends on if it is fresh. I like Stress Zyme for the additives but no I doubt it contains much live bacteria. Think about it, they are bottled up in there for goodness knows how long. I just don't see how they could survive.
well they claim they are dormant (which is possible)... but i am skeptical as well..... Biospira??? i have heard of it but have never seen it before..... any suggestions on where to find it????
even biospira, possibly the best (only?) live bacteria product out there, isn't a miracle product. for some people it works instantly, for some (like me) it cuts cycling time down to a week or two instead of 6-8 weeks, and for some it never works at all. do not use it thinking you will not have to test or change any water.
oh i know there is no substitute to water changes.... but i went to 3 places today and no luck.....
I've had it fail, unfortunately, and so have others. There's just no guarantee it's been stored properly until it gets to your home. I wouldn't chance it again.
Even when kept warm Bio-Spira has a shelf life of about 6 months. They are even dated so you know when it was packaged. When used properly it works as it claims.
