Doesn't bb feed off ammonia? Anyway I'll give it a go and see how it goes.

For the record.. If your tank smells like cat pee you need to make adjustments.. if you have mounds of un eaten food in your substrate? Need to make adjustments. If you're going to target a thread towards noobs? Need lots of evidentiary back up, links, actual useful information. Bottled bacteria is utterly useless. Best getting the real thing from another memeber or lfs, i send sponges out whenever asked. I also clean my cannister media in straight hot hot tap water (bio media aside of course).. never lost a cycle.

I'm not talking a few drops of tap water, if you read my posts you would see that I said some Decor can trap water, so staying on the safe side like rinsing decor out with tank water ( if you decide to do that) is a way to do that and doesn't kill any bb on the decor. I initially made this thread to help rule things out, not looking for conflict. I'm sure added bb everytime you do wc is not a good idea, and like you said for a new tank it's fine.
I'm no expert. But who here is?

Agreed.Experts here? I can name several though few would take the credit, they truly are though.
Why do I feel like I'm being attacked everytime I post something??????

One successful method of participating here is to make one of two posts:
A post starting a thread in which you ask a question.
A post you make to answer someone else's question, in which you are humble about your answer and are clear about where your advice comes from, what your experience is, etc. be really honest. Something like "I've seen people recommend A and B, I have 6 months experience with B after having seen it suggested by (specific source). My own experience has (your personal result). But I get that others have other experiences."
Also be very careful about giving advice on a method or product whose chemical processes you can't completely explain.
Starting a thread in which you say "hey everybody, remember to do - when you -" isn't going to be welcomed.
Some of us here are very passionate about our hobby. I personally have gotten through many down falls in the 40+ plus years in the hobby and have learned by my own mistakes, so most of the advice I would give, comes from personal experience and even then I still have to be open minded to other opinions as well.
So we should just all move forward at this point.
