This is good stuff.
I picked some up at the LFS the night I start putting my new 20 gallon tank together. They told me they used it to cycle their store when they moved it, and they were fully cycled in about 5 days.
The product must stay refrigerated and has a shelf-life of about 3 months.
I filled the tank, dechlorinated, added household ammonia til I saw 4 ppm, then added half an ounce of Fritz-Zyme Turbo Start.
This morning, barely 36 hours later, I'm already seeing 0.5 - 1.0 ppm nitrites. No nitrates yet, but it hasn't even been two days.
Cost about $10 but well worth it.

) Also just set up a 1 and a half gallon medical and/or fry tank. The 46 gallon has an ammonia spike of about 2+ as of today because of the additional load, 0 nitrites and about 10 nitrates. I'm using a fishless cycle on the one and a half gallon. Today it is at 6 + ammonia, no nitrites or nitrates. For the last week I've kept it at 1.0 but got impatient and added much more today. I ordered the fritz turbo start and it was shipped today for a delivery tomorrow.
