Pumping Bacteria

[madstyle1]

Amyone here dosing benifical bacteria if so what brand? Dr. Tims? MB7? Thoughts?

Bacteria in a bottle is a touchy subject. It isn't a fix all or an instant cycle, but can be used to quicken the process or address a mini cycle if that problem arises.
I wish the stuff had an expiration date as it seems people don't see results from bottles that have sat on shelves for an unknown period of time.

Yeah i know .. guess time is the best option

I use seachem stability. My 1st tank was having trouble cycling I used stability and it got it going. I currently started a new tank and that's what I'm using to get it going. But yeah, I wouldn't depend on beneficial bacteria by the bottle. It helps, but the tank needs time.

Don't use it at all. Just seed the tank with sand and rock from another tank and let it go through the process.
